I used 2% milk, Bartlett pears, and a mandolin to slice the pears. Sift or dust (with a small mesh sieve) the powdered sugar over it right before serving, as it quickly gets soaked up by the juice and partially disappears.
Ingredients
- 3 Comice or Bartlett pears, peeled, halved, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees; butter a 9-inch pie dish. Peel, halve, and core 3 Comice or Bartlett pears; slice 1/4 inch thick lengthwise. Arrange slices, overlapping slightly, in dish.
- In a blender, process 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/3 cup each granulated sugar and all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 3 large eggs, 3/4 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
- Pour batter over pears; bake until golden and firm to touch, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar.
