Cream the butter with the cream and eggs. Then, while continuing to stir, add the spices and finally the breadcrumbs. On this mass, cut out dumplings not too big with a tablespoon and put them into boiling water.
After 7 minutes, remove with a skimmer and keep warm. Meanwhile, peel the pears, cut them in half and remove the core. Cook in water with sugar and vinegar until not too soft. Then bind with the cornflour and pour over the dumplings.
