Pear in a dressing gown

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Peel pears. At the lower end, remove the blossom including the core with an apple corer or knife. Boil 1/2 l water (or 1/4 l water and wine) and sugar. Steam the pears for 5-8 minutes, depending on how ripe they are. Drain and let cool down

2. 2

   In the meantime defrost the dough. Crumble the biscuits and mix with jam. Pour into the pears

3. 3

   Separate the egg. Roll out each sheet of dough square (approx. 20 x 20 cm). Brush the edges with egg white. Wrap pears with dough, press well. Cut off dough remains, cut out flowers if necessary. Spread with egg white and press against the dough cover

4. 4

   Place the pears on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush with egg yolk. Bake in a hot oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: level 3) for about 25 minutes. Goes well with chocolate sauce
