For the muffin batter:
- 150gr milk

Makes 12
Recipe:
Combine the water and sugar in a thick based sauce pan. Heat without stirring until a deep caramel forms. Don’t allow it to become too dark or it will become bitter. Add the pears and leave to simmer until the juice has evaporated and a thick caramel sauce remains.
Combine the wet ingredients: milk, butter and egg.
Combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon.
With a spatula or wooden spoon: stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined – lumps in the batter are fine.
Briefly stir in the caramelised pears.
Scoop the batter into muffin cases.
Bake for 20-25 minutes on 200°C.
