Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe pears
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams almond flour
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 60 ml milk
- 20 grams sliced almonds
- 10 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch tart pan or an equivalent round baking dish with butter and set aside.
Peel the pears, core them, and slice them into thin wedges. Set them aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a whisk or hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until fully incorporated.
Mix in the almond flour, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and almond extract until you achieve a smooth batter.
Gradually add the milk to the batter and stir until it is well combined and slightly pourable.
Pour the batter into the prepared tart pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Arrange the pear slices on top of the batter in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping them for a decorative look.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the pears.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the tart is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the tart to cool to room temperature before dusting it lightly with powdered sugar for garnish.
Slice and serve on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
