Pears in dough
Pears in dough is a great dessert that always rubs off perfectly on the table and strikes your guests in the very heart, or rather, the stomach. Serve the pears in a batter with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Vanilla or chocolate sauce will not be superfluous either. And for those who love experiments, add pieces of blue cheese to such pears.
Ingredients
Servings 4 servings- lemon
- 4 large pears with stems
- egg - 1 pc
- 1 st. l. raisins, almonds, walnuts, cognac, sugar, butter
- 250 g ready-made yeast dough
Cooking
Step 1
Pour raisins with cognac, leave for 20 minutes. Chop the nuts with a knife. Mix raisins (along with cognac), nuts, sugar and butter. Cut the pears in half, leaving the stalk, remove the core, rub the lemon on the side of the cut. Fill the holes with stuffing. Place pear halves together.
Step 2
Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of 2 mm. Cut out 4 large squares from the dough. Place a pear in the center of each square. Pull the two opposite corners of the dough to the top of the pear, press it with your hands. Repeat the same with the other two corners. Divide the egg into white and yolk.
Step 3
Bend the corners from the stem and cut them in the form of leaves. Brush the inside of the dough folds with egg white and press down. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220º C. Lubricate the pears in the dough with yolk and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 190º C and bake for another 20 minutes.
