Steps:
- Make crust:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 13- by 9-inch baking pan (2 inches deep) and line with 2 crisscrossed sheets of foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Butter foil.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-size butter lumps. Add egg and stir with a fork (or pulse) until a ball begins to form.
- Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion. Gather dough together with scraper.
- Press dough evenly onto bottom (but not up sides) of baking pan and bake until edges are golden and begin to pull away from sides of pan, 15 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack, about 40 minutes.
- Make topping:
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Toast almonds and hazelnuts on separate sides of a shallow baking pan until fragrant and golden on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes. Rub hazelnuts in a kitchen towel to remove any loose skins (some skins may remain).
- Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
- Bring honey, brown sugar, and salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, without stirring, 2 minutes. Add butter and cream and boil, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in all nuts until coated.
- Spread mixture evenly over crust and bake until topping is caramelized and bubbling, 15 to 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack. Lift dessert out of pan using foil overhang and cut into 64 bars. Peel bars from foil.
Tips:
- Use a variety of nuts. This will give your bars a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts.
- Toast your nuts before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Use a combination of white and brown sugar. This will give your bars a more complex flavor and help them to stay moist.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your bars tough.
- Press the dough firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
