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.

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.
Tips:
- Use ripe pears: Use ripe pears that are slightly soft to the touch. They will be easier to core and slice, and they will have a sweeter flavor.
- Slice the pears thinly: This will help them to cook evenly in the clafouti batter.
- Use a good quality cinnamon: The cinnamon is a key flavor in this clafouti, so use a good quality cinnamon that has a strong flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the clafouti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the clafouti until it is just set: The clafouti should be slightly wobbly in the center when it is done. If you overbake it, it will become dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Roasted Pear and Cinnamon Clafouti is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be served warm or cold. The pears and cinnamon give the clafouti a sweet and flavorful taste, and the custard-like batter is rich and creamy. This clafouti is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
