Great tasting crust; filling with the perfect amount of sweetness. Ellie does it again. That's why I own both cookbooks and her DVDs. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

This tart was delicious with apples and with pears. It isn't very sweet, and it's best just out of the oven.

This tart was a great success! I made it for a dinner part and the whole thing was gone in five minutes; everyone ignored the store-bought waffle cake.

I used cake flour instead of wheat flour, which seems to have worked out fine. Next time i will probably add a smidge more lemon juice and honey to see what happens.
Great recipe! This one's a keeper for me.

I loved this tart! (and yes we like desserts with less sugar. Anastasia mentions that the whole wheat flour over powered all the other flavors. I used wheat pastry flour, perhaps this is what made the difference. I also was lucky enough to have freshly picked pears (of an unknown variety that ripened in my kitchen.

Wow, am I the only person who thought this recipe was poor? The whole wheat flour in the crust over powers all of the other flavors. I kicked up the spices adding ginger and lime zest and still found this tart bland. I do agree with the other reviews that it is not too sweet, which is great for people who don't like to be over powered by the sugar in a recipe. Overall I was very disappointed in the results and will not try this recipe again.

Loved, loved, loved this simple-to-prepare pear tart. I've made other higher calorie, higher fat pear tart recipes and Ellie's trumps them all in taste and preparation. I really liked how crunchy the crust was and the filling was delish! I didn't have whole wheat pastry flour so I used regular whole wheat flour. I also didn't have buttermilk so I had to use a milk/vinegar mixture. Oh, and no lemon juice so I used a sprinkling of apple juice. Despite all of these substituations, the recipe still came out a winner. My hubby loved it and he's not partial to baked goods that have whole wheat flour in them. Will definitely make this again, but perhaps with apples the next time.

I made this tart tonight and let me tell you, it was very hard to eat just one slice! I wanted to eat the whole thing! I'm still thinking about it as I write this review. I can't wait til tomorrow so I can have another slice! I will definitely make this again.
