Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the pears; cook for 1 min each side or until lightly browned. Add the syrup; cook and stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat. Turn the pears to coat in the mixture. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pears to a heatproof plate. Cool. Pour the sauce from the skillet into a microwave-safe bowl. Set aside.
3
Beat sugar, egg yolk, orange peel and remaining butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Stir in the hazelnuts and flour until combined. Cut the pastry in half; place the halves on the prepared pan, 2 inches apart.
4
Spread the hazelnut mixture evenly over the pastry pieces, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Fold in the pastry edges to make a border. Top each tart with 3 pear halves, cut-side down. Bake for 20 mins or until golden, puffed and cooked.
5
Microwave the reserved sauce mixture on high (100%) for 30 seconds or until heated. Cut each tart into 3 pieces. Drizzle the warm tart with the warm sauce. Serve with ice cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
