GalleyGirl Pear Tart recipe

Does anyone have? Thanks!

This should be it ...

Pear Tart
You'll need a 8" springform pan, and three or four ripe, juicy pears, peeled, cored, and sliced into sixths or eighths.

Cream a stick of butter with 3/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Add 2 eggs, one at a time.

Combine one cup of flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and add to the butter and egg mixture.

Spray the spring form pan with Pam and spread the batter into it. Start pressing pear slices into the batter in a pinwheel pattern, but do cram in as many as you can. The batter will rise and cover the pears anyway. The more pears you use the moister the result will be.

Bake at 350 degrees until a skewer comes out clean, 45 minutes to an hour. When in doubt, underbake!

Thank you thank you!!!

I'm gonna try this recipe in the fall, I always read the posts about it.
If the chowhound board collective ever has to pick two legendary recipes to leave to future generations, I bet it would be this one and the Zuni chicken!

Unbelievably good! What a great recipe. It was a perfect way to use up my organic pears.

I am going to try it again with strawberries and apples.

Definitely try this out. Buttery and wonderful.

Uhhh, the toothpick might not come out clean if in the middle of the very juicy pears. But, the cake part, it will - and the cake part will pull away from the sides as well.

You can also sprinkle brown sugar on top that will melt into a glaze.

That is, after it is baked. Sprinkle bown sugar, and heat until it melts (help it in the oven if you want, about 5 minutes).
