PEAR AND GINGERNUT TART
Method
- Heat the oven to 200C Unroll the pastry and place it on a well-greased baking sheet that has been lined with greaseproof paper
- Fold over the sides to make an edge and press down with a fork
- Crumble the gingernut biscuits and scatter over the bottom of the tart
- When you are ready to cook the tart, toss the pears in the sugar and immediately stack it on top of the pastry and put it into the oven
- If you wait it will start to produce a lot of liquid
- Cook for 35-40 minutes, until the pastry is a light golden colour
- Cut into six even sized rectangles and serve with your desired accompaniment
