Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 6).
In a bowl, mix the eggs, sugar and pinch of salt for 5 minutes with a whisk or food processor (if available).
Sift the flour into the mixture a little at a time, using a Maryse.
Add the cold butter, cut into small cubes, and sand the mixture with your fingertips until you obtain a fine, grainy texture.
Gradually stir in the milk to form a smooth, airy paste.
Shape the dough into a small disk and place in a mould.
Arrange the pear slices on the pastry.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 155°C for a further 15 minutes, until the shortcake is lightly golden.
Leave to cool, then cut in half
Mix the sugar and cream until whipped.
Assemble by placing the sponge cake, then the cream, and cover with the sliced pears underneath and on top, then sponge cake again and finish with the whipped cream. Decorate as you wish.

Recipe notes

For even more deliciousness, add a dash of cinnamon to the pears before baking, or a drizzle of caramel when they come out of the oven. This recipe is perfect for a quick individual dessert, but can easily be adapted for 2 or 3 people.
