This elegant tart is made with buttery pastry topped with amber-colored caramelized pear slices. It takes some skill to prepare, but travels well in a picnic basket.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the Tart Dough

15 min

Rub the cold butter into the flour and confectioners’ sugar until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and bring the dough together.

2

Chill the Dough

20 min

Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

3

Make the Caramel

15 min

Melt the sugar in a skillet until amber. Add the pear slices and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes.

4

Assemble the Tart

15 min

Roll out the dough and fit it into a tart pan. Arrange the caramelized pear slices on top.

5

Bake

35 min

Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F and bake the tart for 35 minutes, until the pastry is deep golden.

6

Cool

10 min

Let the tart cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Reminder

Do not remove the caramel from the heat before it turns amber. If it stays pale, the pears may release juice as the tart bakes and make the crust soggy. Contains wheat (gluten), dairy, and egg.

Hamuru tarifte yazan 20 dakika değil 40 dakika dinlendirdim çünkü mutfağım sıcaktı, tereyağı erimesin diye ekstra süre iyi geldi; karamelin amber rengini yakalamak biraz dikkat istiyor ama sonuç gerçekten şık bir tart oldu.
