Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 medium-sized, thinly sliced ripe pears
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups milk
• 3 items large eggs
• 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) powdered sugar
• 1 serving (for drizzling) additional maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or deep pie dish in the oven as it preheats.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced pears, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly. Set aside.

Step 4

In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and no lumps remain, about 30 seconds. Let the batter sit for a few minutes while preparing the pears.

Step 5

Remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter, swirling it around until fully melted, and ensure the entire bottom and sides of the pan are coated.

Step 6

Arrange the pear slices in a single layer in the bottom of the skillet. Drizzle the maple syrup over the pears.

Step 7

Pour the pancake batter evenly over the pears and immediately return the skillet to the oven.

Step 8

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges. Avoid opening the oven during baking to prevent deflating the pancake.

Step 9

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools.

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar (if using) and slice into wedges. Serve warm with additional maple syrup drizzled on top.
