Today we bake a classic French tart with a history attached to it, the French adore it. Somewhere around 1880 two French sisters Stéphanie and Caroline Tatin, ran Hotel Tatin together. The story goes that an overworked Stephanie accidentally baked apple pie upside down. That apple pie is today still  famous around the globe, it's the Tarte Tatin.
 
Today we make the French tarte for Mother's Day, but with pears!

Place the tin upside down on the dough, cut out a circle slightly larger then the tin. Place the dough in the fridge.

Toss the peeled pears with lemon juice and 55g sugar in a bowl, put the bowl aside for now.

Pour the remaining sugar in the baking tin. Put it on low heat. Don't stir while the sugar karamelises in 5-7 minutes.

Remove the pears from the refrigerator and spread them on the caramelized sugar in the baking tin.
