Steps:
- To make the custard, heat the milk in a heavy saucepan until it is almost boiling. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks until they are light and pale-colored. Beat sugar into the yolks, tablespoon by tablespoon. Add flour and beat until smooth. Add heated milk to the yolk mixture in a slow stream, beating constantly. Beat until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and chill.
- When the mixture is thoroughly chilled, remove from refrigerator and whisk until smooth. Fold the mascarpone into the mixture. In a separate bowl, beat the cream until medium-stiff and fold into the custard mixture. Stir in vanilla and chill until ready to use.
- To make the gratin, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and stir constantly until a golden brown caramel develops. Remove from heat.
- Arrange the pear halves, cut side down, on top of the caramel and scatter minced ginger, if desired, over the pears. Cover the pears with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a skewer.
- Place two pear halves in each of six individual gratin dishes. Divide the caramel among the dishes. Pour about 1 cup of custard into each gratin dish, covering the pears. Place the gratin dishes on a baking sheet for easier handling and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Change the oven setting to broil. Place gratins on the upper rack of the oven and broil carefully until the custard bubbles and browns, about 1 1/2 minutes. Watch very carefully; do not burn.

BAKED PEAR CUSTARD FOR TODDLERS
I wrote this recipe down when my bub was only a few months old, and now she's 1 (well almost!) I made this today for her. It's healthy and so so easy to make. I like that there is no sugar in this recipe however you could choose to sweeten it up a little or drizzle a tiny bit of maple syrup over it at serving time for a treat. Preparation time includes time to cook pear before baking custard.

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl combine brown sugar and 3 Tbsps. of flour. Sprinkle evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Arrange pears in shell (slices arrange radiating out). I cube and slice and just drop in most the time. Be sure not to overfill so there is room for custard.
- 2. In medium bowl whisk together evaporated milk, egg, and vanilla. Then pour over pears. To prevent overspilling do not overfill pie. If you want it full be sure to line bottom of oven with foil or use a deeper dish.
- 3. In a small bowl combine remaining flour, sugar and spices. Sprinkle over the top of the pie.
- 4. Bake for 45 minutes at 425 or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Tips:
- Select ripe, firm pears: Use pears that are ripe but still firm to the touch. This will ensure that they hold their shape during baking.
- Peel and core the pears evenly: Use a sharp knife to peel and core the pears evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the custard.
- Use fresh vanilla beans: Fresh vanilla beans will give the custard a more intense flavor. If you don't have fresh vanilla beans, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Don't overcook the custard: The custard is done when it is just set. Overcooking will make the custard rubbery.
- Let the custard cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the custard to firm up.
Conclusion:
This pear custard recipe is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The pears are tender and juicy, the custard is rich and creamy, and the combination of flavors is simply divine. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dessert at home. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this pear custard recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
