Net Carbs 9/ Calories 190

  • 1/2 cup Plain Flour
  • 1/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Almond extract
  • 2.5 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 100 g soft butter
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 100 g ground almonds
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 tbsp amaretto liqueur.
  • 2 very ripe soft pears

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C / Gas Mark 4.
  • Beat together sugar, butter and extract. Add flours to make crumbs that stick together.
  • Press the crumbs into the tin and cover the bottom, Chill for 15 minutes then cook for 12.
  • Mix the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl until it is really soft and well combined. Then beat in the ground almonds and plain flour. Crack the egg in, add the amaretto liqueur, and then beat it hard so everything is combined. Remove the tin from the oven and add the almond filling, spreading it out evenly so it is nice and smooth on top.
  • Peel, halve and decore the fresh pears, if using.
  • Arrange the pears, cut side down, in the almond filling. 
  • Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the filling is nicely puffed up and golden. Sprinkle demerara sugar over the top.
