Pear and Almond Pie

Ingredients:

1 commercial puff pastry

100g butter

150g sugar

2 eggs

30g flour

90g almond powder

3 or 4 pears

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

In a bowl, combine sugar and eggs, then add flour and almond powder. Add the butter to the mixture and mix well.

Spread the puff pastry in a hollow pan with a high edge, like a cake pan. A pie pan could also be used but the cake pan will give a thicker pie.

Pour the contents of the bowl over the puff pastry.

Peel the pears, cut them into quarters before placing them on the mixture forming a crown.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Unmold the pie once it is a little cooled, taking care not to damage the crust.

Place on a decorative plate.
