Title: Baked Pear Pudding
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

10 Pears; peeled, quartered,
-and tossed with 2 T lemon
-juice to prevent oxidation
1 1/3 c Milk
2/3 c Heavy cream
1 c Sugar
2/3 c Flour
4 lg Eggs
1 1/2 ts Vanilla
2 tb Butter
2 tb Confectioners sugar
Maple syrup as an
-accompaniment

In a buttered 2-1/2 quart casserole, arrange the pears decoratively. Blend
milk, cream, 2/3 C of the sugar, flour, eggs, and vanilla until batter is
just combined. Pour over the pears; sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 C
sugar, and dot with the butter.

Bake in upper over, 425 degrees, for 50 minutes or until the top is golden
and the pudding is set. Sift confectioners' sugar over it. Serve warm or at
room temperature (but store in ‘fridge!).

Note: I got this from a magazine years ago; sorry, but I don't know which
one. The oven temperature seems too hot to me; I'd rather bake it longer at
375 degrees in a water bath.
