Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon Butter, Salted Will need additional for the pan
  • ½ Cup Unflavored Bread Crumbs "Fine"
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ Cup Sugar, Granulated
  • 1 Pinch Salt
  • 1 ½ Cup Flour
  • 2 Pounds Pears, Ripe

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F

  2. Grease 9" pan with butter, sprinkle with bread crumbs. Lightly shake out loose breadcrumbs from pan.

  3. Beat together eggs and milk.

  4. Add sugar and salt and continue beating until well mixed.

  5. Add flour and mix together completely with other ingredients.

  6. Peel the pears, slice lengthwise in relatively thick slices while removing the core.

  7. Carefully add pear slices to the (now very thick) batter.

  8. Attempt to "pour" the batter into the pan, leveling it off as much as possible.

  9. Dispense little chunks of the butter on the top surface of the batter.

  10. Bake on the top rack of the oven (did you remember to preheat that sucker in step 1?) for about 45 minutes until the top is lightly goldeny brown.

  11. Pull it out of the oven and cool before serving.
