Method
- Before cooking, measure these ingredients: 250 g plain flour and 110 g cold vegan margarine. Set out the remaining ingredients, cookware and utensils so everything is ready.
- Rub flour, sugar and chilled vegan margarine into crumbs, add water and quickly form dough. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Roll dough on baking paper, arrange thin pear slices in the centre with cinnamon and lemon juice.
- Fold edges over the fruit, sprinkle with brown sugar and bake for 35 minutes at 190°C.
- Before serving, check: Fold wet and dry ingredients together only until combined. Overmixing can make cakes or muffins dense.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Preheat the oven before mixing and prepare the tin first so the batter does not sit waiting.
- Fold wet and dry ingredients together only until combined. Overmixing can make cakes or muffins dense.
- Baking times vary: a skewer inserted into the centre should come out without wet batter. Bake a few more minutes if needed and cool before slicing.
