Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large firm pears, cored and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
½ cup white sugar, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
¼ cup butter, sliced
6 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Toss pear slices with 1/4 cup white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to coat.
  • Arrange butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and place on the center rack of the oven. Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove skillet from oven once the butter has just melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy; add milk, 1/4 cup white sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and mix until just combined. Sift flour into egg mixture and stir until batter is just mixed.
  • Stir pear slices into the melted butter and spread into a single layer. Pour batter over pears.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pancake is set in the middle, the sides have risen, and the bottom is browned, 28 to 30 minutes. Top pancake with confectioners' sugar.

This pancake was a little too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I had some trouble flipping the pancake. It was a little too delicate and it started to break apart. I think I would try cooking it in a smaller pan next time.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I actually really enjoyed this pancake. The pears were perfectly cooked and they added a nice sweetness to the pancake. I would definitely make this again.

This pancake is a great way to use up leftover pears. I always have a few pears in my fruit bowl that are starting to get a little too ripe. This pancake is the perfect way to use them up and prevent them from going to waste.

This is my new favorite pancake recipe! The pears add a delicious sweetness and crunch to the pancake. I also love that it's a one-pan recipe, which makes cleanup a breeze.

This German pear pancake was a hit with my family! The pancake was fluffy and moist, and the pears were perfectly caramelized. I will definitely be making this again.
