Delicious dessert, that comes together very easily. Sweet pears and crispy dough are the best partners.
Pear Galette
Description
The simple combination of the dough and sweet pears are great at pear season. I like to use in this recipe not very ripe pears just to prevent the dough from being too wet while baking. Sprinkle the edge of the galette with sugar before baking and top with a thin layer of jam after baking, and you'll get an extra yummy dessert. I like to serve it warm with some lemon zest and a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it is indulgent.
