A sweet Guava & Pear tart, but light and refreshing blend that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp butter or margarine
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1-2 cups crushed guava and pear (you could remove the seeds from the guava if they bother you)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 360°F, and grease a large baking tin (I think mine was about 9×13″).
- Cream the butter and sugar together, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after adding each one.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together and add to the wet ingredients.
- Mix to combine, add milk, and mix again.
- Pour batter into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
- While baking, prepare the sauce:
- 1/2 butter or margarine
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tin evaporated milk
- Heat all ingredients together in a small pot over medium heat until melted. Increase heat to bring it to a boil, then remove it from heat.
- Pour the sauce over the tart while they are both warm to soak it all up.
- Fruit can be substituted to your taste – it’s just so moist and delicious!
