Laura’s Pear and Frangipane Tart
By • August 31, 2023 0 1313
Arguably, one of the best shows to have come out of the modern era is the Great British Baking Show. A recipe that seems to be known by all of the contestants, as well as being a technical challenge, is frangipane tarts. They’re always accompanied by a fruit. Well, in this week’s “what is in my pantry?” I found canned pears. Hence, my pear and frangipane tart was born!
I Love Tarts
Tarts always remind me of my grandmother. Despite her being a wonderful pastry chef, every Easter we would pick up a fruit tart from our local bakery. The tart base would be pastry, with a layer of chocolate, then a custard, topped with fruit. It was so delicious. I have talked about tarts and pies here.
