Ingredients

1 TB salted butter (room temp)
3 cups cored/peeled/thinly sliced large ripe pears
1/4 cup sweet white wine (or kirsch or cognac)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups whole milk
2/3 cups granulated sugar (divided)
3 large eggs
1 TB pure vanilla extract
1/8 tsp table salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup all purpose flour (scooped and leveled for correct measuring)
1 TB fresh lemon zest (from 2 lemons)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle position. Grease a ceramic tart pan or cast iron pan (needs to be stovetop-safe) with the butter. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine pears with sweet wine and 1/3 cup sugar. Let stand 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
Place ingredients for the Batter, using only 1/3 cup of sugar, in a blender in the order of ingredients listed. Cover and blend at top speed 1 min.
Pour 1/4 inch layer of the batter at bottom of prepared baking pan. Place over moderate heat on stovetop and heat just until a film of batter has visibly set on the bottom of the dish; this keeps fruit from sinking to the bottom. Remove from heat and pour in the remaining batter. Spread pears in a fan-like pattern or however you wish. Sprinkle on the remainin 1/3 cup sugar. Smooth surface with back of a spoon.
Bake 50-60 min. or until puffed up and golden brown; a knife inserted into center should come out clean. Let cool a bit. Serve warm with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.

PEAR CLAFOUTIS

Pear Clafoutis image

It sounds odd to say that a recipe's biggest problem is that it looks too good, but that's sort of the case with this pear clafoutis, a crustless custard fruit tart that often looks a lot sweeter and richer that it actually is. Usually made with cherries, this rustic French dessert adapts easily to any kind of seasonal fruit. If desired, brush top with warmed fruit preserves and honey and garnish with whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
3 large eggs
⅓ cup white sugar, or to taste
1 ¼ cups whole milk
¼ teaspoon fine salt
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups thinly sliced sweet, ripe pears
½ cup toasted sliced almonds
½ tablespoon white sugar, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch baking dish generously with 1 tablespoon butter.
Whisk eggs, 1/3 cup sugar, milk, salt, nutmeg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and flour together in a bowl for batter.
Reserve 12 to 14 pear slices for topping and add remaining pear slices to the prepared baking dish. Pour batter over pears in the baking dish and top with almonds. Shake and tap the dish gently on the countertop to let mixture settle. Lay reserved pear slices flat on top. Melt remaining butter and brush over pears. Sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden, fruit is soft, and custard is set, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving, or serve chilled.
