Raymond Blanc served up a delicious pear almondine with flaked almonds on Simply Raymond Blanc.
The ingredients are: 100g unsalted butter, room temperature, 100g caster sugar, 100g ground almonds, 1 teaspoon cornflour, 1 egg, medium, organic/free-range, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 8 pear halves, tinned or jarred and 80g melted butter to brush the inside of the tart ring. Or use spray oil.
To serve: A handful flaked almonds (for extra flavour, first toast them in a dry pan) and Icing sugar, for dusting.

Couldn’t wait to make this after I saw RB on TV with it. Great recipe, so simple and our guests devoured it whilst making very appreciative noises. It will become a “must make again” for me. RB really is the best.
I absolutely adore Raymond as he is so gentle, fun and sincere when he talks about his produce.
Raymond Banc is Simply wonderful. His love of food, natural ingredients, joie de vivre are so evident in everything he does.
He is Simply the Best
