Ingredients

• 3 pcs ripe pears
• 3 pcs large eggs
• 80 g granulated sugar
• 50 g all-purpose flour
• 250 ml whole milk
• 100 ml heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing)
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the pears, core them, and slice them into thin wedges. Arrange the slices evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Add the flour to the egg mixture and whisk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.

Step 6

Carefully pour the custard mixture over the pears in the baking dish, ensuring the pears remain evenly distributed.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden around the edges. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow the custard to cool slightly before serving. For a cooler dessert, refrigerate it for at least 1 hour.

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Enjoy your Pear Custard warm or chilled!
