Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
1/2 cup sliced almonds lightly toasted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
1 large egg beaten
3 large pears peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon dried lavender crushed

Honey Lavender Drizzle

1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon dried lavender crushed
1 tablespoon warm water

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2 In a large bowl, combine sifted flour, toasted almonds, sugar, and salt.
3 Using a pastry cutter, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4 Add the beaten egg and mix until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5 While the dough chills, toss the sliced pears with lemon juice in a medium bowl.
6 Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness and fit it into a tart pan.
7 Arrange the pear slices neatly over the crust, overlapping slightly.
8 Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden and pears are tender.
9 For the drizzle, combine honey, crushed lavender, and warm water in a small bowl. Mix well.
10 Drizzle the honey lavender mixture over the tart while it's still warm. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
