Pear Danishes
Serves 4
1 sheets ready-rolled puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 pear
Cooking oil spray
Cream or ice cream, to serve
1. With the Extension ring and High Rack
in place, preheat oven to 250°C. Lightly
grease the Multi-purpose baking dish.
2. Spray the puff pastry with cooking oil
spray; cut into 4 squares. Sprinkle each
square with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar.
3. Cut the pear into quarters lengthways and
remove any seeds. Cut each quarter into
thin slices. Fan one quarter of the pear,
diagonally, onto each pastry square. Take 2
corners (opposites) of the pastry and bring
to the centre above the pear; pinch to join.
Spray with cooking oil spray and sprinkle
remaining brown sugar over pastry.
4. Place 2 danishes in prepared dish. Using
the Oven Tongs, lower the dish into the
oven. Cook for about 7 minutes or until
crisp and golden. Repeat with remaining 2
danishes.
5. Serve warm, with cream or ice cream.
Tip: Don’t leave the pastry at room
temperature for too long or it will be very soft
and too hard to handle.
