  1. 1

    Quickly knead 250 g flour, 1 egg, 75 g sugar and 150 g butter in flakes with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. Wrap in foil and chill for 30 minutes. Melt 100 g butter for the crumbles.

    Knead 150 g flour, 50 g sugar, butter and cinnamon with the dough hooks of the hand mixer into crumbles and chill. Meanwhile boil 250 ml water, red wine and 50 g sugar. Peel and halve the pears and remove the core with a ball cutter.

  3. 3

    Place the pear halves in the red wine stock and leave to steep for 30 minutes. In the meantime, whip cream until stiff and chill. Beat 5 eggs, vanilla sugar, 1 pinch of salt and 125 g sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer until thick and creamy.
