Pear Charlotte
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. You can use one fruit or a combination for the filling, for example: pears with apples, apples with plums, and so on. In this recipe, instead of dough, white bread crusts are used, which are soaked in syrup before cooking. You can bake the charlotte in a large pan or in individual portions, as in the recipe. Serve with tea or coffee.
