30 20 50

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup cold butter
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1/4 cup cold milk
FILLING:
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions

In a bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg yolks and milk; stir into flour mixture until blended. With lightly floured hands, press dough onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a 12-in. tart pan with removable bottom. Line unpricked shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Place pan on a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the sugar, cream, cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in walnuts. Remove foil from pastry shell; pour filling into pastry. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 8-10 servings.
