Description

These pear brittle cupcakes are a poem! I especially like to bake them in the autumn, when the pears are nice and ripe. The curd in the dough makes them wonderfully juicy and the brittle provides a great crunch. They are perfect for a cozy Sunday brunch or as a sweet surprise for a birthday. If you like, you can add some cinnamon to the dough. The preparation is a bit more complex, but the result is worth it! An absolute must for all cake lovers.
