Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk oat milk (2 tbsp) with cornflour (20 g) until smooth. In a saucepan, combine oat milk (130 ml), icing sugar (30 g), vanilla extract (0.25 tsp), and ground cinnamon (0.25 tsp). Bring to a boil, then whisk half into the cornflour mix. Pour back into the pan and return to the boil, still whisking, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened.

  2. 2

    Remove from heat, whisk in vegan spread (15 g) and turmeric (1 pinch). Cover the custard with clingfilm and cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Combine juice (0.5 lemon) with cold water in a large bowl. Quarter, core, and thinly slice pears (2), then transfer to the lemon-water bowl. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C). Whisk the remaining oat milk (2 tbsp) with vegetable oil (0.5 tsp) and maple syrup (0.25 tsp) in a small bowl. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Unroll puff pastry (375 g) (keeping it on its paper) and cut into 6 equal squares. Using a pastry brush, dab the centers with a little of the maple syrup mix. Fold the corners into the center, leaving a small gap, and gently press down to stick. Transfer to a baking sheet, still on the paper.

  6. 6

    Spoon custard (2 tsp) into the middle of each square and spread slightly. Top each pastry with 4-5 pear slices, fanning them out and pressing down gently. Brush the edges of the pastry with the remaining maple syrup mix. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  7. 7

    Mix the remaining icing sugar (40 g) with enough [lemon juice] to make a thick, pourable icing. Drizzle over the pastries and scatter with the pistachios (15 g) to serve.
