Clafoutis aux Poires

Ingredients

Pears

3 medium, peeled, cored, and sliced

Granulated sugar

1/2 cup

All-purpose flour

1/2 cup

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Milk

1 cup

Eggs

3 large

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Powdered sugar

for dusting before serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Arrange the sliced pears in a single layer at the bottom of the greased baking dish, spreading them evenly.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well-combined.
4. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Then add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, whisking until smooth and lump-free.
6. Pour the custard-like batter over the arranged pears in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is evenly covered.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set, puffed, and golden brown on top.
8. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Dust the top with powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant finish. Serve warm or at room temperature.
