1. Peel the pears, cut them lengthwise into 4 pieces and remove the core. Tool Ceramic Knife Japanese ceramic knives are made from zircon oxide, a material that falls midway between steel and diamond on the hardness scale. Moreover, they are lighter than metal ones, do not oxidize food, do not absorb odors and do not require sharpening for at least three years.
2. Add 100 g sugar, 50 ml water and 50 g butter to a frying pan over medium heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the pears and stir, shaking the pan slightly. The fruit will release its juice and it will transform the caramel into the most incredible pear caramel sauce. The main thing is to wait until the caramel turns light golden brown and then immediately remove it from the heat. Set the pan aside to cool. The Belgians of Green Pan rebelled against Teflon. With the passion of a preacher, they tell us that polytetrafluoroethylene heated to more than 260 degrees is toxic and even kills some birds on the spot. Instead, a new non-stick thermolon coating is offered, which does not contain harmful chemicals and allows you to fry in a small amount of oil.
3. First, soften 300g butter by whisking it in a large bowl. When it has melted sufficiently and is lighter and lighter in color, add the sugar and beat well.
4. Then, gradually add eggs one at a time, mixing them until smooth with the dough.

5. Add a pinch of salt, baking powder and flour. Stir the flour into the dough with a spatula until the mixture is smooth.
6. Place the dough in a baking dish. Top with pears in any style you find decorative, top with pear caramel and sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired. Tool Silicone baking molds Silicone molds are more convenient than metal ones: they do not need to be lubricated with oil, food does not burn in them, and they are easy to clean. Plus, they bend, making them easier to remove from the finished cake.
7. Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40 minutes. Tool Oven thermometer How the oven actually heats up, even if you set a specific temperature, can only be understood with experience. It is better to have a small thermometer on hand that is placed in the oven or simply hung on the grill. And it is better that it shows degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit simultaneously and accurately - like a Swiss watch. A thermometer is important when you need to strictly observe the temperature regime: for example, in the case of baking.

Very tasty and tender spicy pie with caramel pears. The pie is prepared according to the principle, that is, the pie is turned over immediately after being removed from the oven. These pies are often made from apples, plums or apricots and are first caramelized in a frying pan. This time I used pears, they also go well with caramel. I used a very interesting dough for the pie - spicy, but don’t let that scare you, it’s not at all the same thing as “spicy”, the pie just has a subtle, pleasant aftertaste. In general, if you have already prepared mine, then you understand what we are talking about, and so, this pie has a similar taste, but more delicate and tender. I really liked the resulting pie - it has a soft, delicate crumb, complemented by fragrant caramel pears!
Preparation:
Peel the pears, cut them in half, remove the inedible part, and cut into slices.
Place in a container, add lemon juice, stir.
Melt butter in a frying pan.
Sprinkle the sugar in an even layer and bring to a light caramel state (do not stir during the process).
Add the pears and increase the heat to high. The caramel will set at first, but as the pears warm up and release their liquid, it will completely dissolve. Mix well.
Pour in cognac, close the lid, reduce heat to low.
Cook the pears for about 15-30 minutes, or until medium soft. The pear slices should become soft and flexible, but still hold their shape well.
Prepare the dough.
Beat soft butter and sugar.
Add eggs, melted and cooled honey, beat.
Mix flour with baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
Add the dry mixture and beat a little more until combined.
Grease the mold a little with oil, my mold is 26 cm in diameter (I don’t recommend taking a smaller mold).
Arrange the slices nicely in circles, or simply transfer all the slices into the pan and smooth with a spatula. Pour the caramel in there if there is any left in the pan.
Place the dough evenly on top and smooth with a spatula.
