["Mix the ingredients of the bottom together until you have a crumbly mixture. Add the extra tablespoon of canola oil if the mix seems dry.", "Press this dough into the bottom of your baking dish or dishes (two 6""). You want the dough to be between 1/8"" and 1/4 "" thick. Create side walls. These should be @ 1"" tall. Crunch the edge down a bit with your thumb prints to even out the perimeter. Set the pastry shell(s) aside.", "Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.", "Beat the whole egg together with the extra egg white.", "Whisk in the honey and sugar.", "Add the sumac, Sapa, and cream (or yogurt).", "Pour this mix into the pressed shell(s).

Bake 25 minutes or so until browned lightly on top.", "Let cool. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or both. This is even better the next day."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
