Lemon Curd Blackberry Tartlets

Ingredients
Tart Dough, recipe below
Lemon curd, recipe below
1 pint blackberries
1⁄4 cup honey


Instructions
1. Prepare the lemon curd according to the recipe and set aside.
2. In the meantime, preheat an oven to 325°F. Roll the crust out to about 1⁄8th thick. Place the dough in 4 brioche cups or small 2′′ round tart pans. Line the dough with foil, parchment paper, or cupcake cups if they fit. Fill the lined tart pans with pie weights or dry beans.
3. Bake about 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the dough holds it’s shape. Remove the pie weights and foil or parchment paper. Poke a few small holes in the bottom of each tart shell and bake another 10 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
4. Fill each tart with lemon curd and top with blackberries.
5. In the meantime, heat the honey over low heat to thin it out. Brush the warm honey over the blackberries.
