Equipment
- Vegetable peeler
- Paring Knife
- Cutting board
- Blender
- Wooden spoon
- 9-inch springform pan
Ingredients
- 3 medium to large pears soft variety
- 1 ¼ c whole milk
- ⅓ c granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ c flour
- Butter or baking spray for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Peel and slice your pears. For fancy presentation, slice very thinly. If in a hurry, simply slice in halves or quarters. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- Add all ingredients except the pears and buttter/spray to a blender. Cover and blend on high speed for 1 minute.
- Grease your springform pan.
- Pour about ¼ inch of batter into the bottom of your pan. Set it on a stove burner on medium heat and cook until the batter is set about 2 minutes. It will start to form bubbles all over.
- Remove the cake pan from the heat, and arrange the pears on top of the cooked batter. For halves, spread them face down in a circle. For thinner slices, arrange in a circular fan shape.
- Pour the rest of the batter on top of the pears. Smooth the top with a spoon. If the pears peek through, that’s alright.
- Place the cake the center of the oven and bake for 1 hour, or until nicely browned and a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving - the clafoutis will fall a bit. Top with a dusting of powdered sugar.
