### Directions
|
|
|
|
To make the pastry: sieve the flour, ground rice and salt into a large bowl. Rub in the butter, then add the egg to make a dough. Gather into a flat disk and wrap in clingfilm. Chill.
|
|
|
|
To make the caramel: place the sugar, water and spices into a thick-based saucepan and melt the sugar over a low heat. When the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat to high and cook until it is a rich caramel. Remove from the heat and carefully add the butter. Pour into a warmed tarte tatin dish and remove the spices.
|
|
|
|
Heat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6.
|
|
|
|
Peel and halve the pears, removing the stalks and core. Place rounded-side down on the caramel. Roll the pastry into a circle large enough to cover the dish; lift on top of the pears, trim, and tuck in the edges.
|
|
|
|
Bake it the top third of the oven for 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden-brown and cooked through. Carefully invert onta a lipped serving dish while still hot.
