Pear clafoutis
This fall-flavored take on this classic easy French dessert is comforting and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- ⅔ cup milk whole
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour plain flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 pear small-medium, just ripe
- ½ tablespoon butter approx, to grease skillet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Lightly grease an 8in cast iron skillet or similar sized baking dish with some butter.
- Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl or mixer and whisk well until well broken up and combined. Add the milk, flour, vanilla, lemon zest and salt and mix/whisk until smooth.
- Peel the pears, cut in half and remove the core. Cut into slices and arrange in the bottom of the skillet - you can fan them out slightly as I did or arrange any other way you choose.
- Carefully pour the batter into the skillet/baking dish over the pears.
- Bake in the oven for approx 35 minutes until lightly browned around the edges and set. Allow to cool a couple minutes before serving. It will probably be puffed up when you take it out the oven and collapse slightly after a minute. Sprinkle with a little confectioners sugar to serve, if desired.
