In a food processor, add the flour and butter and pulse until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Now stir through the crushed walnuts.
Gradually add the egg and mix until the mixture just comes together (you may or may not need all the egg).
Remove from the bowl and gently knead to form a ball, then wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for about an hour to rest. Meanwhile make the filling.
Filling
Preheat the oven to 190C/170CFan.
In a bowl, cream together the Moose Maple Butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and continue to beat until well combined.
Roll out the pastry until thin, about 5mm. Using a fluted cutter to fit your tin, cut the pastry bases and place into the tin gently pushing them down.
Fill with the butter mix 2/3 full (as they will bubble up and can spill over if too full). You can cut pastry shapes for the top if you choose or leave them plain.
Bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and place the tarts on a wire rack to cool.
Notes
Moose Maple Butter is a new product to be launched in the UK in 2015. If you can't find this butter with added maple syrup then you can use unsalted butter but increase the sugar content for the tart filling to 100g and use a pinch of sea salt.
