- Place the water, Madeira syrup and sugar in a saucepan over a moderate heat, stirring till sugar has dissolved.
- Lay the pears in the saucepan, bring to the boil then simmer gently for 15 min, turning occasionally to cook proportionately in the liquid.
- Carefully remove the pears from the pan and allow to cold.
- Continue to simmer the liquid till reduced and syrupy. Allow to cold.
- Preheat the oven to 190 C, 375 F, Gas Mark 5.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut out 4 circles, approximately 8cm (3 inches) in diameter. Place on a lightly greased baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 15 min, till lightly golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cold.
- Place the sweet pastry rounds on a serving plate, stand a pear on top of each and spoon over the Madiera syrup.
- To make the spun sugar, place the water and sugar in a small pan over a moderate heat, stirring till the sugar has dissolved. Allow to boil gently, without stirring for 1-2 min till golden brown. Remove from the heat and spoon a little of the caramel over each pear. Dip 2 forks in the remaining syrup and stretch threads of sugar between them. As the threads are formed, arrange on top of the pears.
