Juicy pear layered tart with a light, buttery cake texture.
Ingredients:
  • 125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 55g (1/2 cup) almond meal
  • 57.20 gm honey
  • 40g (1/4 cup) plain flour
  • 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
  • 25g (1/4 cup) flaked almonds
  • 190g (1 1/4 cups) plain flour
  • 125g unsalted butter, chilled, chopped
  • 40.00 gm caster sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 40.00 gm chilled water
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, blend the flour, butter, and sugar until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and water, then process until the dough just forms. Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until smooth. Shape it into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 45 minutes.
  • Achieve a 3mm thickness by rolling out the pastry between two sheets of baking paper. Remove the top sheet of paper and place the pastry, paper-side down, in a 23cm round fluted tart tin with a removable base. Trim any extra pastry, then prick the base with a fork. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Line the pastry case with baking paper, fill with pastry weights or rice, and bake for 12 minutes. Remove the paper and weights or rice, then bake for 10 more minutes until golden.
  • Preheat the oven to 160C. With an electric beater, cream together butter, sugar, and almond meal until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Stir in the honey, then gently fold in the flour.
  • Transfer the almond mixture into the pastry case and level the surface. Layer the pear slices and flaked almonds on top. Bake for 40 minutes or until beautifully golden and set.
