1 tsp Vanilla sugar
tsp Ginger
1 Egg
1 tbsp Water
4 Pear (About 600g)
1 Squirt whipped cream (to Serve)

Instructions

Step 1

Cut the butter into smaller pieces and rub into the flour. Mix sugar, vanilla sugar and ginger into the mixture. Make the dough by adding eggs and water. Rest the dough in a cool place for approximately 1 hour.

Step 2

Grease a tin or dish (about 23 cm in diameter). Divide the dough into 2 portions and roll out each portion into circles, slightly larger than the tin. Put one of the pieces of dough in the bottom of the tin, making sure to press the dough up into all the edges.

Step 3

Peel and chop the pears in half. Remove the core and place the pear halves in the tin with the curved side up and the stem end pointing towards the middle of the tin.
