Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2/3 cup whole milk (120ml)
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour (45g plain flour)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 pears (small-medium, just ripe)
  • 1/2 tbsp butter ((7g) approx, to grease skillet)

Instruction

  • 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.
