Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe pears
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel, core, and slice the pears into quarters.
Step 3
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the pear slices to the skillet and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pears soften slightly and the sugar begins to caramelize.
Step 5
Transfer the skillet with the pears to the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Step 8
Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
Step 9
Remove the skillet with pears from the oven and pour the batter evenly over them.
Step 10
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the clafouti is puffed, golden, and set in the center.
Step 11
Let the clafouti cool for 10 minutes. It will settle slightly as it cools.
Step 12
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
