Method: 

Tart base

1. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the base, except the egg yolks, creating crumb-like consistency. 

2. Add the egg yolk and knead the dough to form a smooth bowl. 

3. Flatten the bowl, cover in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. 

4. Prepare a tart tin - spread butter all over.

5. Transfer the dough into the tin, cover every inch - easiest done with fingers, and leave in the fridge until baking, minimum 15 minutes. 

​

Pears:

1. Peel the pears, cut them into quarters and place in a pan with water, mixed with sugar and cinnamon. Boil on low heat for approx. 15 minutes.

2. Take the fruit out of the water and on a sieve to drain. 

​

Almond batter:

1. Mix the butter and sugar using a hand mixer until smooth (approx. 4 minutes).

2. Add eggs and mix for another 3-4 minutes until fluffy.

3. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir with a spatula to combine everything. 

​

Baking:

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. Fork the base, transfer the almond batter and then decorate your tart with the pears. Bake for approx 30 minutes or until golden.

Enjoy!
