Pear and Almond Tart Recipe

Pear and Almond Tart Recipe 

For the base,

1. Grease and Line a 12 inch flan dish with jus rol ready rolled short crust pastry.

For the Filling

1.. You need 2 tins of pear halves, drained and patted dry with kitchen roll.

Cut about a 1/3 of a block of marzipan (Tesco's finest range) in to small nugget size pieces, place a nugget under each pear, and arrange the pear halves around the dish, and the remaining in the middle,

if you have any almond paste nuggets left over sprinkle them between the pears

For the topping.

100g/4oz Plain Flour
2 Egg
100g/4oz Ground Almonds
4 tablespoons Milk
100g/4oz soft butter
100g/4oz Caster Sugar
Few drops Almond Essence 

Place all ingredients in a food processor for about 3 mins,

Spoon a dollop of the mixture on top of each pear, do not spread out, it will find it's own way while baking

Bake in a oven set at 190.c for about 35 /40minutes until risen and golden brown.

Leave in tin to “set” for 10 minutes, Dust with icing suger then remove and serve warm with cream or ice cream. custard is my favourite.




I have made this only twice but both time it has turned out delicious .
I promise it will be desert for next workshop on the 12th.
