Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet ready-rolled shortcrust or puff pastry
  • 3 ripe pears thinly sliced
  • 50 g ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour to absorb juices
  • 50 g ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
    Preheat Oven
    1. Heat oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Prepare Filling
    1. In a bowl, toss sliced pears with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour until evenly coated.
    Assemble the Galette
    1. Place pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange pears in the centre, leaving a 5 cm (2-inch) border. Sprinkle walnuts over the top and dot with butter.
    Fold Edges
    1. Fold pastry edges over the filling, pleating slightly as you go, leaving the centre exposed. Brush pastry with beaten egg.
    Bake
    1. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and pears are tender.
    Finish & Serve
    1. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
