tarte bourdaloue

This classic Pear Frangipane Tart, called Tarte Bourdaloue in French, is a delicious Autumn and Winter pastry that is full of flavours and texture. The Sweet Shortcrust Pastry is filled with an Almond Cream and topped with Poached Pears.

Pear Frangipane Tart

gr Unsalted Butter (soft)

gr Icing Sugar (or Confectioner's Sugar, sifted)

Egg (medium to large, at room temperature)

gr Almond Meal

200 gr Plain / All-Purpose Flour

Salt

Pears (firm)

Water

gr Caster Sugar

Lemon

Vanilla Paste (or extract)

Eggs (about 100 gramsr, at room temperature)

Flaked Almond (optional) (to taste)

45 gr Caster Sugar

Vanilla Paste (optional)

In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the soft Butter and sifted Icing Sugar for a couple of minutes or until smooth.

Mix in the Egg and Almond Meal, then add the Flour and Salt. Mix on low until a rough dough comes together (see note 1).

Transfer the pastry dough over a large sheet of baking paper. Do a &quot;fraisage&quot;: With the palm of your hand,  gently press the dough out then pick it back and place back over the centre of the pastry. Keep on going until the dough is very smooth.

Place a second sheet of baking paper over the pastry and roll to a thickness of about 4 mm (1/8 inch) (see note 2). Place in the fridge to chill and rest for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

Transfer it inside over a 24 cm / 9,5-inch Tart Pan with Removable Bottom. Gently press the pastry down into the corner of the pan to create a 90 degree angle (see note 3). Cut off any excess with a small pairing knife and place back in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

Dock the pastry (prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork) and preheat your oven on 160 degree Celsius / 325 degree Fahrenheit. Place the tin in the freezer in the meantime. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the bottom feels dry to the touch (see note 4). Set aside to cool down.

Pâte Sucrée (Sweet Shortcrust Pastry)

Peel the Pears, slice them in half and core them.

In a large saucepan, mix together the Water, Lemon Juice, Vanilla and Sugar. Turn on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the pear halves. Cook on low to medium heat (no more than a simmer) for 10 to 15 minutes or until the  pears are slightly soft (see note 5).

Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer them over a wire rack covered with paper towel to cool down and drain slightly. Optionally, cut each pear halves into thin slices of about half a centimetre (1/5 inch). Set aside.

Poached Pears

In a mixing bowl, cream together the soft Butter and Sugar with a mixer for about 3 minutes on medium speed or until very soft and creamy.

Slowly mix in the Egg, then the Almond Meal until a thick paste comes together (see note 6).

Almond Cream Filling

Preheat your oven on 160 degree Celsius / 325 degree Fahrenheit.

Spread the Almond Cream at the bottom of the par-baked tart crust (see note 7).

Gently place each Poached Pear over the cream using a small offset spatula to lift them up. Lightly press them into the cream. Optionally, sprinkle some Flaked Almonds between each pears. 

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the almond filling has puffed up and looks golden.

Assembling the Tart

In a small saucepan, combine Water, Sugar and Vanilla Paste. Bring to a simmer and leave to reduce until it looks very slightly thick. Brush it over the pears while still warm (see note 8).

Simple Syrup Glaze (optional)
