1

Preheat the oven to 160°C, gas mark 3.

2

Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake liners.

3

Heat the butter in a saucepan over a low heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes until it turns brown. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.

4

Add the honey, eggs, milk, vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the flour, bicarbonate, salt, halva, pears and walnuts and mix well.

5

Divide between the muffin tin cups (fill 2/3 of each cup).

6

To make the crumble, mix all the ingredients together. Sprinkle over the cupcakes and bake for 10-15 minutes or until risen and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

7

To make the icing, cream the butter until light and fluffy – approx. 8 minutes. Add the super fine icing sugar and milk and whip until fluffy. Add the halva and mix until just combined – don’t overmix.

8

Spread onto the cakes, top with the tahini halva and pistachios to decorate.
