This Thanksgiving, impress your guests with a subtly spiced pear tart Tatin. Frozen puff pastry makes the recipe super simple.
UPPER CRUST Subtly spiced with cardamom and ginger, this simple dessert elevates the usual lineup of holiday pies.Emma Fishman for The Wall Street Journal, Food Styling by Tyna Hoang, Prop Styling by Catherine Pearsonharvest, apples take pride of place in American desserts, and I’m not one to argue that. But what of the humble pear?
Walk into the Grand Épicerie, the supermarket section of the famed department store Le Bon Marché in Paris, and you’ll see ready-made puff pastry being scooped up by savvy Parisians unapologetically looking for a shortcut. Whether for hors d’oeuvres, savory tarts or sweet ones, puff pastry is ideal when time is in short supply. Here in the U.S., it’s easy to find good frozen options.
For the puff pastry, I use a brand called Dufour, which is made with butter. It’s available in many supermarkets, and if yours isn’t among them, it’s worth ordering online. Other brands simply don’t match its buttery richness. You may either leave the pastry to thaw overnight in the fridge or on a floured countertop at room temperature for one hour. Puff pastry must be baked in a hot, fully preheated oven, as the high temperature helps it puff.
