Method

Ingredients

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C. Unroll the puff pastry and place on a clean, floured surface.

2 Cut the pastry into 3 cm-wide strips. Starting at the top of each pear, wrap a strip of pastry around the pear in a spiral shape. One strip of pastry should cover each pear.

3 Place the pastry- covered pears on a baking tray, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle over the brown sugar.

4 Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the pears are tender. Serve immediately.
