Shortcrust pie with pears
Description
The baking is simple and quick. Actually, I recommend making the shortcrust pastry with butter instead of margarine, especially for children. It will turn out both healthier and tastier. As for the sour cream in the filling, you can substitute it with cream of the same fat content if you prefer—this won't make much difference, although I personally enjoy the distinct tangy flavor that sour cream gives to the cream. So here's a simple recipe for a shortbread pie with pears—read on and enjoy baking! :) Serve with tea or coffee.
