Pear cake.

Today, is a beautiful Autumn day, sunny and warm 18C

This morning I went to the charcuterie farm. It’s right in the country they raise their pigs and sell directly from their shop. I don’t often go, but tomorrow evening our daughter and SIL are coming and  they asked me to make a “ raclette” this is boiled potatoes with raclette cheese with charcuterie ( different hams…) there is a special device which melt the cheese then your pour the cheese on potatoes and charcuterie. Each person does its own meal.

There was a lot of people 

and I had to queue 45 mn. The shop is open only on Friday and Saturday.

Then I baked a caramel and pear cake for my SIL, his best cake!

I used:

4 pears 🍐 

For the caramel: 100gr sugar

1/2 lemon 🍋 juice

For the pastry:

3eggs

120gr butter 

150gr flour ( or with incorporated baking powder)

1 coffee spoon baking powder 

150gr butter 

1 pinch of salt

You may add one or two spoons alcohol of your choice.

Make the caramel, put the pears cut in quarters.

Then mix all the ingredients and pour over the fruits
