Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Tart Dough: In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (1 minute)

03

Step

Gradually add the ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. (1 minute)

04

Step

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, form it into a disk, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Roll and Shape the Crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Pre-bake the Crust: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line the chilled tart crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and weights. (15 minutes)

10

Step

Continue baking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Let cool slightly. (7 minutes)

11

Step

Make the Frangipane: In a food processor, grind the toasted hazelnuts and sugar until finely ground. (3 minutes)

12

Step

Add the softened butter, egg, flour, vanilla extract, rum, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)

13

Step

Assemble and Bake the Tart: Spread the frangipane evenly over the pre-baked tart crust. (2 minutes)

14

Step

Arrange the pear slices attractively over the frangipane. (5 minutes)

15

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the frangipane is golden brown and the pears are tender. (35 minutes)

16

Step

Cool and Serve: Let the tart cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing it and slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

For a deeper hazelnut flavor, toast the hazelnuts before grinding. Toast them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant.
If the tart crust edges are browning too quickly during baking, cover them with aluminum foil.
A dusting of powdered sugar adds a touch of elegance before serving.
The tart is best enjoyed the day it is baked, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
