So after learning all about pastries this week I made another tart for the family for whom I am a personal chef! They loved it – even the kids which surprised me because at the age of 8 – I would not have appreciated a tart! I also went out and bought a little scale so I can measure out exact measurements for the tart!
Apple and Pear Tart
Ingredients
- Pate Sucree
- 9 oz Flour
- 5 oz unsalted butter
- 2 oz sugar
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- Creme au Beurre Noisette aka Burnt Butter
- 6 oz unsalted butter
- 3 eggs
- 7 oz sugar
- 2 oz flour
- 2 pears
- 2 apples
Instructions
- To prepare the pate sucree combine flour, butter sugar and lemon zest in a food processor. Mix for 30 seconds and add the yolks one at a time and then the lemon juice so the dough forms into a ball. Remove the dough and press it into your tart pan and the refrigerate for 2 hours.
- To prepare the burnt butter cook the butter in a small saucepan until golden brown. In another bowl combine the eggs, sugar and flour. Whisk the butter into the sugar mixture until well combined.
- Remove your tart crust from the fridge and arranged the peeled apples and pears in circle. Pour the filling over the fruit and bake in a 375 degree oven for 40 -50 minutes or until golden brown. Once done, remove and let cool on a cooling rack. Optional - top with powdered sugar!
My homework assignment for this coming Monday is to bring another tart to class. I want to do something savory… any suggestions?!?! I want to use CHEESE!!!!!!
