Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 package Walkers Stem Ginger Cookies crushed
  • ½ stick butter melted
  • cup Gold Medal white whole wheat flour

For the Filling:

  • 1-1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • cup sugar
  • ¼ cup Gold Medal white whole wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

For the topping:

  • 2 pears
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 pinch nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Combine the crust ingredients until they're the consistency of damp sand; press into the bottom of a 10-inch round tart pan.
  • Combine the filling ingredients in a small saucepan; whisk well to combine. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until it begins to bubble and thicken. Pour over the tart crust.
  • Peel the pears and add them to a clean saucepan. Cover with water, stir in honey. Simmer 10 minutes, or until pears begin to soften. Drain and slice. Arrange pear sliced over buttermilk custard. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until custard is set and pears begin to brown. Cool completely. Serve chilled.
