Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 4 Seckel pears, ripe but firm, peeled, halved, and cored
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
Warm the oven up to 190C 375F
Pulse flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor
Add the cold butter and pulse the food until it looks like big crumbs
Whisk the egg yolk and ice water together in a small bowl
Add slowly to the flour mixture and pulse until the dough comes together
Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out into a disk
Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes after wrapping it in plastic wrap
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle that is just a bit bigger than the tart pan
Place the dough in the pan and cut off any extra
Use a fork to make holes in the bottom
Put the cut side of the pear halves in the tart shell
Slowly melt the butter in a small saucepan
After you add the cardamom and blueberries, cook for about 5 minutes, or until the berries burst and the mixture gets a little thicker
Place the blueberry mix on top of the pears
Put the tart in an oven that has already been heated for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the pears are soft
Let the tart cool down a bit before you serve it
Before you serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar
