Pear Tart

Peel pears, leaving stalks intact. Boil 1/8 liter (approximately 1/2 cup) of water with sugar. Add pears and simmer, covered, for about 6 minutes on low heat. Remove from heat and drain well.

For the dough: combine wholemeal flour with butter, honey and an egg. Knead to a smooth dough for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate, wrapped in plastic wrap. Roll out dough on a floured work surface and line tart pan with it, making an edge all around.

For the topping: separate eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff. Whisk egg yolks with honey until creamy, add almonds and flour. Fold in egg whites. Pour mixture into tart pan and smoooth. Place pears into cream, positioning stalks up and press lightly.
