I found his recipe in a local magazine and it is an absolutely perfect variation from the classical apple tarte tatin. It is sweet, crispy and warm... a perfect dessert.

Time 2h35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup flour
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons sugar
4 pears (very green)
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix very quickly with your fingers the flour, salt and 4 tbsp of cold butter. With the yolk put all this together and add 2 tbsp of sugar and the water. Make a ball, wrap on plastic and leave to cool in the refrigerator for an hour or so.
  • Cut the pears in halves leaving the stem but withdrawing the seeds.
  • In a pan over high flame melt 5 tbsp of butter with 2 tbsp of sugar (from the cup), and stir until it becomes a golden syrup. Lower the flame to the minimum and add the pears leaving the "canoe" side down, and the cut side up.
  • Over the pears put the rest of the butter (2 tbsp) in little squares, the rest of the cup of sugar and the cinnamon. Cook for 8 minutes, take away and bake in a low oven for 20 minutes.
  • While you wait for the pears, take the dough and roll it in a circle a little bit larger than the pan, so when the 20 minutes are over you can cover the pan with it and leave it in a medium oven for 15 more minutes.
  • Leave to cool down a little for 10 minutes, turn down on a beautiful dish and eat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
