Yes you can substitute with melted cooled butter.

Can you substitute vegetable oil with butter? Room temperature ingredients blend easier, creating a silky batter, which will help to create a light tender baked good. So, take any cold ingredients out of the refrigerator an hour ahead of time or sooner if it’s cool in your kitchen. With cakes and other baking, it’s always better to use room temperature ingredients.

Vegetable oil – I use sunflower or corn oil.

This dessert is great for chocoholics and the refreshing pear juices cut through the rich flavour – great for any dinner parties. I’m going to repost the old recipe for this tart. The last one was made with 85% and my guests might have found it a bit too bitter. Since I don’t have a sweet tooth, I usually use 70% or over bitter chocolate. Using good quality chocolate is also crucial. If not in liquor, at least in vanilla and sugar.

The second time I didn’t poach the pears in cognac like I did the last time, but I highly recommend you do it because it gives much fuller taste. Having made it for year, now I can make it with my eyes closed. It was my second time making a pear chocolate tart as I always have the ingredients in my kitchen, pear, chocolate, almond meal and vanilla. Not so big on lemon tarts like others, except the ones I got from the oldest boulengerie in Bordeaux. Of all kinds, my favourites are apricot and cardamom, blueberry or raspberry and pear chocolate. I’ve made tarts on a few occasions and they seem very popular among Turks, it being so different to Turkish desserts. Especially, I have a soft spot for fruit tarts and one of the things I enjoy most on my visits to France is a tart, all kinds of tarts. The richness of tarts, whether it’s filled with good quality chocolate or fruit or custard, is decadent indulgence in butter and sugar. However, if the pears are not fully ripe, poaching in sugar water will do a trick. There are so many different types, too, so picking the right type, sweet and juicy ones, for baking is a good start. The practical reason I make tarts is that it never fails no matter what kind you make as long as there is something for the filling.Īnd at the moment, pears are abundant here. On such occasions like the NYE night, I usually make a tart as it always pleases the crowd since it sounds fancy and tastes so good.

I love cooking for people and I don’t get freaked out about unexpected guests or last-minute dinner gatherings because I’ve learned some good tricks through my culinary journey. I’ve been revisiting my old blog lately for recipes as a tentative action to desert it, but while looking through old recipes and photos, I got thinking that the old photos, which were taken with a Casio point&shoot, were better than my recent photos! Why am I feeling embarrassed looking at my huge camera and lens? It all comes down to inspiration and enthusiasm in the end, I suppose.
