Time 1h40m

Yield 12 pear financiers

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup almond flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 small pears, sliced
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the browned butter: Melt 1 stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until it begins to bubble. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, swirling the pan, until the butter turns golden and smells nutty, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Whisk both flours, 1/2 cup brown sugar and the salt in a medium bowl. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; stir in the vanilla. Fold in the browned butter and the dry ingredients, then cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 12-cup muffin pan. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and combine in a large bowl with the pears and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar; toss. Divide the batter among the muffin cups; top each with 3 pear slices. Bake until puffed and golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

HAZELNUT-CRUSTED PEAR & BRIE TART RECIPE BY TASTY



Hazelnut-Crusted Pear & Brie Tart Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: skin-on hazelnuts, buckwheat flour, fresh rosemary, maple syrup, kosher salt, unsalted butter, orange marmalade, brie cheese, pears

Provided by Mercedes Sandoval

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup skin-on hazelnuts
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
1 pinch kosher salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, 1/2 stick, cubed and chilled
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
4 oz brie cheese, thinly sliced
4 pears, cored and very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 8 minutes, until fragrant and browned. Let cool, then remove the skins by gently rubbing with a kitchen towel.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • In a food processor, combine the buckwheat flour, hazelnuts, rosemary leaves, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and the salt. Pulse until the hazelnuts break down and the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Add the butter and pulse to combine, until no large chunks of butter remain.
  • Press the crust into a 10-inch (25-cm) tart pan. Poke holes all over the bottom of the crust with a fork.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Spread the orange marmalade over the bottom of the warm crust. Arrange the brie slices evenly over the marmalade.
  • Shingle the pear slices neatly around the outside edge of the tart, packing them close together. Add a second layer around the outside edge, on top of the first layer. There should be a circle left in the center of the tart. Begin tucking pear slices horizontally, skin-side up, around the edge of the inner circle. Work toward the center, using smaller slices as the circle gets smaller (the thinner the better here, they will bend and not break!). Once you get to the very middle, tuck a few small slices into the center to fill in.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup over the pear slices.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, until the pears have softened.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Enjoy!

PEAR-HAZELNUT TART



Pear-Hazelnut Tart image

The topping for this yummy pear tart is quite sweet so I only add very little sugar to the pastry but you can make the tart with regular sweet shortcrust pastry if you like.

Provided by Lena

Categories     Fruit Tarts

Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
1 large egg
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon cold water
1 pinch salt
½ cup hazelnuts
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
1 large egg
2 large pears - peeled, cored, and sliced

Steps:

  • Grease an 8-inch tart pan.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, butter, egg, sugar, water, and salt in a large bowl. Quickly knead into a smooth dough. Place in a container with a lid and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. The pastry needs to be firm enough to be rolled out.
  • Roll out chilled pastry on a floured work surface and fit into the prepared tart pan. Shape an edge and prick the pastry several times with a fork. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Cover the pastry with parchment paper and fill with dry beans or pastry weights. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Meanwhile, roast hazelnuts in a dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and chop coarsely.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add cream and beat until well combined. Mix in egg and beat until batter is smooth. Spread onto the pastry. Arrange pear slices in an overlapping pattern on top of the cream and scatter hazelnuts on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until topping has set and is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

  • Let the financiers cool completely before serving. This will allow them to set and develop their full flavor.
