Easy Homemade Puff Pastry

all-purpose flour

salt

unsalted butter ((2 1/2 sticks), cold)

water

Place the flour and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

Cut the cold butter into 1/4-inch slices and add to the flour mixture, tossing to coat.

Stir in the cold water until a thick dough forms.

Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk-shape, and wrap in plastic wrap.

Chill for 1 hour in the fridge, or 20 to 30 minutes in the freezer.

Unwrap the dough, dust the work surface with flour, and roll the dough into a rough rectangle shape.

Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter.

Turn 90 degrees, roll and fold again.

Repeat about 2 to 4 times, wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and chill for 2 hours or overnight.*

These incredible puff pastry pear tarts coated with salted caramel take no longer than half an hour to make and look like they came out of a patisserie shop.

Salted Caramel Pear Tarts

all butter puff pastry

egg (beaten)

pears

tsp Demerara (brown) sugar

tsp double/heavy cream (no half and half)

tsp coarse sea salt

Preheat your oven to 375F/190C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out your puff pastry. If you are using a block, dust your work surface with some flour and roll out a rectangle 1/4″ thick. Divide your rectangular shaped puff pastry into 8 small rectangles. With a sharp knife, cut an “L”  into 2 opposing corners, don’t cut all the way but leave a ½-inch in two corners. Brush with the beaten egg. Pick up the cut corners of the pastry, cross them over each other (one over, one under) and lay them flat (now on opposite sides). Brush the tops of the pastry with the egg wash and put the prepared pastries in the refrigerator to chill.

While the pastry is chilling, prepare the pear filling. Peel the pears and split them in half lengthwise, core them, and slice in 1/4″ slices.

Take the pastry shells out of the fridge and set them on your work surface, place one pear half in the centre of each tart. Then sprinkle with a teaspoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon/5ml of double cream per tart, then add a pinch sea salt on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until pears are soft and pastry is golden.

Delicious recipe. I used tinned pear halves - saves a lot of faff (and time!)

I just made them and they were so delicious. I didn’t see the pictures on how to assemble so they got a little speed out. I think next time they will come out so much better and I will try mixing the cream and the sugar together before I add it to the pastry. It leaked out.

Thank you! I used Asian pears from my parent’s tree. They’re baking in the oven now and I will be taking them some to enjoy!

Thank you Julia for this beautiful and very delicious recipe!!!  Marty (Mr. Picky) even loves them!!!

I made these because my Romanian friend sweetly gave me two of her huge pears from her tree.  They turned out to be not as ripe as I had hoped so I put them into the microwave.  Because of a prior comment, I added a little extra brown sugar.  The pears were large so I didn’t slice them vertically but horizontally.

So delicious—can’t wait to share with my friend!!!!

What  a stunning dessert.  Do you think I could a large and freeze them?

I just made these for dessert with friends and they came out beautifully. I love the subtle sweetness. I shared the tester with my husband, and we ate it with clotted cream. It was amazing!

This was a great recipe, and was simple enough for my 7 year old daughter to make with me. Just a couple of comments - we used Bosc pears but found them still quite hard when serving. Next time, we might either cook the pears for a while before putting on the pastry, or even poach them a little first. We also found the caramel topping a bit lacking, almost non-existent with the quantities used. Next time, we'll probably double the amounts, but we'll definitely be making it again!

These are wonderful! I just featured them on my blog, The Hungry Lovers, as one of 4 fabulous fall desserts. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
