Directions

  1. To make the filling, combine the sugar, flour, and baking powder in a bowl.
  2. Add the beaten eggs, anise liqueur, and honey, and mix well.
  3. To make the tart shells, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
  4. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Use your hands to form a ball. Press the dough flat (but do not roll out) and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Once the dough has chilled, divide the dough into 24 balls and press each dough ball into a tart shell, or into the cups of mini muffin pans. Divide the anise seeds among the tart shells and spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into each shell.
  6. Bake the tassies for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool before you unmold the tassies from the tart pan.
  7. Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
