Festive puddings made easy. This dessert comes together so simply in just 30 minutes, and is a real crowdpleaser – especially for people who don't love a traditional Christmas pudding.

Method
Ingredients
  • Step 1Preheat the oven to 175°c fan. Cut the pears away from the stalk into 4 large pieces each. Slice each one very finely into a fan shape, leaving the small tip of the pear uncut, so that it holds together.
  • Step 2Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet, prick it all over with a fork, leaving a 1cm border clear.
  • Step 3Arrange the pears all over the pastry, leaving the border clear. Make sure they are in a single layer, fanning them out slightly so they cover the pastry well.
  • Step 4Meanwhile, place the ginger, syrup and butter in a small pan. Melt and simmer for a minute or so until thickened. Drizzle all over the pears and brush with a pastry brush to coat. Brush the border of the pastry with the beaten egg and scatter over the Demerara sugar.
