I used to often make pear tarts using canned pears, and was asked by my family to make them again. When I used this season's pears, it turned out more tasty than I expected.

For the custard cream, you can use just 1 egg, or add the remaining 1/2 egg from the pastry dough.
Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your pears.
Substitute with canned pears or your choice of seasonal fruit.
Chill in the refrigerator before serving. Recipe by sugar roll

Bring the butter to room temperature, put it in a bowl, and cream with a whisk.

Add the egg in 3 batches, mixing well after each addition.
4

Sift the flour, switch to a wooden spatula, add the sifted flour to the Step 3 mixture, and fold it in with a cutting motion.

Once it all comes together, pour it onto a sheet of plastic wrap, form into a rectangle and wrap. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Cut the pear into 5-7mm slices. Preheat the oven to 170℃.

Remove the chilled pastry sheet, quickly gather it into a ball while pressing out any air pockets. Roll out into a circle larger than the tart mold on a work surface dusted with flour (not listed).
