Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 2 pears peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C, or gas mark 8).
  • Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the butter to the blender container. Add the pears, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon to the skillet with the remaining butter. Cook for 3 minutes or until the pears begin to soften.
  • Meanwhile, add the milk, flour, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt to the butter in the blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the batter over the pears and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and golden.
  • Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, cut into wedges, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Kumquat's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend: Combine well in a large bowl:2 1/3 cups (about 300 grams) superfine brown rice flour, 2 cups (about 200 grams) sorghum flour, 1 cup (about 150 grams) sweet rice flour, 1 cup (about 150 grams) potato starch, 1 cup (about 100 grams) arrowroot starch, and 3/4 cup (about 100 grams) cornstarch
  • Spicy RD 3-Ingredient Flour Blend

  • Apples are delicious in place of the pears.
