Ingredients:
Tart Shell
-1 1/4 cup flour
-1/2 cup powdered sugar
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/2 cup frozen, cubed butter
-1 large egg
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Almond Filling
-1/2 cup room temperature butter
-1 cup powdered sugar
-2 tbsp flour
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 cup almond flour
-2 large eggs
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 1/2 tsp almond extract
-1 lemon
-1 Bartlett Pear, thinly sliced and sprinkled with lemon juice to prevent browning
To Make the Tart:
1. Assemble crust dough first. In a food processor, blitz the flour, sugar, and salt together. Toss in frozen butter chunks, and blitz together for about ten seconds, or until just combined. Add in egg and vanilla, and leave processor on until dough comes together in a cohesive clump. Spoon mixture onto plastic wrap, wrap up, and set in freezer to chill at least thirty minutes.
2. While crust firms up, make the almond filling. Cream butter together with powdered sugar. Then add in flour, salt, and almond flour and whisk together. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Whisk in vanilla and almond extract. Whisk together about two to three minutes, to make sure everything is well combined. Set in fridge to cool.
3. Split dough into fourths, and set three of the four pieces back in the freezer. You want to work piece by piece so the dough stays cold and firm. Roll out each piece between two pieces of parchment paper, until big enough to cover your small tart pan. When it's the right size, remove baking paper and press tart dough into the tart pan with the back of your fingers. If you find the dough to be too sticky, let chill in freezer for a bit longer, or use a little flour along with the baking paper to help roll the dough out.
4. When dough is all rolled out and your tart shells are ready to go, prick bottoms of the tart with a fork. Bake at 375F for 15 minutes, covering halfway though with foil to ensure the crust doesn't burn. At this point, you can slice your pear and dress with lemon juice to prevent browning.
5. Remove from the oven, and fill with the almond mixture. You can spoon it in, or use a piping or plastic bag. Decorate top with pear slices that have been dressed with the lemon juice. Place back in oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the almond filling is nicely browned and a wooden skewer comes out clean.
