PEAR CLAFOUTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Butter a 10 x 3 x 1 1/2-inch round baking dish and sprinkle the bottom and sides with 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar.
- Beat the eggs and the 1/3 cup of granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. On low speed, mix in the flour, cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest, salt, and pear brandy. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel, quarter, core, and slice the pears. Arrange the slices in a single layer, slightly fanned out, in the baking dish. Pour the batter over the pears and bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is firm, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar, and creme fraiche.
PEAR CLAFOUTIS
It sounds odd to say that a recipe's biggest problem is that it looks too good, but that's sort of the case with this pear clafoutis, a crustless custard fruit tart that often looks a lot sweeter and richer that it actually is. Usually made with cherries, this rustic French dessert adapts easily to any kind of seasonal fruit. If desired, brush top with warmed fruit preserves and honey and garnish with whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream.

Clafouti is a country French baked pudding, versatile enough to serve for breakfast, brunch, tea, or dinner, and suited to a wide variety of fruits. This is an Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) recipe that I'm putting here for safekeeping.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9-inch cake pan, and dust with sugar.
- Place butter in a large pan over medium heat. When it turns golden brown, add as many pears as will fit in one layer. Saute pears for about two minutes per side, just to soften them. Remove and set aside. Repeat with more butter and the rest of the pears if necessary.
- Lay fruit around bottom of sugared cake pan in concentric circles, covering entire bottom.
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and the 1/4 cup of sugar. Sift in the flour and blend well. Beat in the baking powder, liqueur, milk and melted butter. Pour over fruit.
- Place clafoutis in oven, and cook for 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before slicing and serving, perhaps with a fruit puree of your choice.
