Directions

1. Step

Grind the almonds into a fine powder using a blender.

2. Step

In a bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Mix well. Add the egg and canned pears in syrup, then mix again until fully combined.

3. Step

Roll out one sheet of puff pastry. Spread the almond mixture evenly over the pastry. Cut the canned pears into small pieces and distribute them on top. Crush the Amaretti biscuits and sprinkle them over the filling.

4. Step

Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and cut it into thin strips. Lay the strips over the filling in a crisscross pattern to create a lattice effect. Lightly press the edges to seal.

5. Step

Brush the top with a little milk. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

6. Step

Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
