Pears in a Blanket

Created by ImPat on August 11, 2014

Step 1: Place flour, butter and sour cream in a food processor and blitz until it just starts coming together.
Step 2: Tip the dough onto a sheet of cling film and push it into a flattened disc, wrap and place in the fridge for half an hour.
Step 3: Peel the pears, cut them in half lengthways and scoop out the core with a melon baller.
Step 4: Combine the prunes and walnuts and press into the hollowed out cores of the pears.
Step 5: Turn the pears core side down on to a lined baking sheet.
Step 6: Cut the pastry in half and return one half to the fridge for another use. Preheat the oven to 180C.
Step 7: Roll out the remaining pastry as thin as you can without it tearing.
Step 8: Cut into six rectangles that will cover each pear, drape them over each half and press around the edges to cloak tightly.
Step 9: Prick the pastry with a fork to allow the steam to escape and then brush with egg wash.
Step 10: Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 11: Serve with a drizzle of rice malt syrup and cream if you wish.
