Ingredients
Serves 8
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
6   eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 tablespoons Pear liqueur
1   lemon, zested
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup flour
4–5   Bartlett pears, peeled, cored and sliced*
    Powdered sugar, for dusting
    Freshly whipped cream, as accompaniment
* Choose ripe but firm pears for this clafouti; overripe fruit will become mushy when baked.
 
 
Directions 
 

Pre-heat oven to 425 °

  1. Set an ovenproof baking dish in the over for several minutes to preheat.
  2. Combine the buttermilk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, pear brandy, lemon zest, and salt in a blender and process until well mixed.
  3. Add the flour and process until well combined—about 30 seconds.
  4. Remove the pre-heated dish from the oven. Quickly fan-out and arrange the pear slices into attractive design, and pour the batter over the fruit.
  5. Place the clafouti in the oven.
  6. Cook for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too fast, loosely cover it with a piece of aluminum foil.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately, with whipped cream if desired.

 

  

Preparation time: 45 minutes plus 10 minutes downtime.
