Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 medium Pears (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.5 cups Pecans (toasted and chopped)
• 2 large Pears (for sauce, peeled and diced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are fine.

Step 4

Fold in the diced pears and toasted chopped pecans. Set the batter aside to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the batter rests, make the pear and ginger sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced pears, grated ginger, brown sugar, water, and butter.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears soften and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Step 8

Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes warm in a low oven if needed.

Step 10

To serve, stack the pancakes on plates and spoon the warm pear and ginger sauce over the top. Enjoy!
