    Note: next time I will put more flour to make the first layer higher. Then I
    will try to add some custard to pears!

    Black tarte with pears

    Category: cakes
    Nb persons: 8

    350 g flour - all purpose
    25 g cocoa - bitter
    200 g butter - 8or margarine)
    120 g sugar
    1 egg - whole
    1 1/2 cup cookies - or graham crakers
    2 pears - big
    2 tbs icing sugar
    1 tsp butter - for the stamp (22cm diameter)

    Take a tarte stamp and butter it, than cover with few flour.
    Peel and cut pears in little cubes (about 1 cm side).
    Crack the cookies.
    Put flour, cocoa and butter (very cold) in a food processor and mix for 2-3
    minutes. Put then the mixture on a rolling board and make a hole in the
    middle.
    Put in the hole sugar and eggs and mix speedly with your hands. You will
    obtain a ball. Cut the ball in two pieces (one bigger than the other).
    Lay out the bigger piece of dough till you obtain a disc. Put this disc in
    the tarte pan. Over this, make a layer of cookies, and over this, put pears.
    Cover with the other disc of dough and close with the excess of the
    precedent disc (like you are making a pie).
    Put in the oven at 160 °C for about 45 minutes or more if need.

    Pandora, why do you have to keep publishing these pictures that make me so
    hungry? You'd think I was starving to death, and I just finished lunch, but
    I want that [censored]!

  7. I read this through first without looking at the pix and thought it
    sounded weird - unusual pastry method. And the pears by themselves.
    But, seeing the pix, it looks great and Wayne obviously enjoyed his
    slice....
    The additional 2 tbsp icing sugar - just to dust the cooked tarte, or,
    mix with the pears? One would want to make sure the pears are
    particularly sweet otherwise.

    It was delicious, but not nearly enough! :-)

    Yes, knowing how sweet the pears are would seem important. I would
    definitely dust the top, though.

    Note: next time I will put more flour to make the first layer higher. Then I
    will try to add some custard to pears!

    I have a bunch of apple pears that need me to do something with
    them... that's an unusual idea and looks really yummy!

    thanks for the recipe

    Yes. icing sugar is to put over the tarte: as you have said, pears are very
    sweet.

    Black tarte with pears

    God, that's beautiful. I wish I'd seen this when I was planning
    Thanksgiving.

    Serene, who has made most of the pies and may make an extra spice cake
    to replace the one she gave away
