ingredients
|
| 1tsp |
(5 mL)
unsalted butter |
| 2/3cup |
(150 mL)
plus 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar |
| 6 | large eggs |
| 3/4cup |
(175 mL)
all-purpose flour |
| 1tsp |
(5 mL)
vanilla extract |
| 1/4tsp |
(1 mL)
salt |
| 2cups |
(500 mL)
milk |
| 1cup |
(250 mL)
35% whipping cream |
| 7 | peeled pears or 10 fresh plums, sliced thickly |
| a few drops fresh lemon juice |
directions
| 1. | Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare 2 round baking dishes (8–10 in/20–25 cm diameter) by rubbing bottom and sides with butter and sprinkling with 1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar. (If your baking dishes are a bit larger or smaller, your “pancakes” will be thinner or thicker. No worries.) Set aside. |
| 2. | In a large bowl, combine remaining sugar with eggs, and whisk until mixed thoroughly. Whisk in flour a little at a time to prevent lumps. Add salt, vanilla, milk and cream; mix until just combined. |
| 3. | Place fruit in a single layer in the bottoms of baking dishes and sprinkle with lemon juice. Whisk batter once more. Carefully pour in batter, dividing between the 2 dishes. The fruit will float up; that’s OK. Bake on the middle oven rack for 40–50 minutes, until “pancakes” are just set and slightly brown around the edges. Serve by the spoonful, or in wedges like a pizza. |
| 4. | Makes 8 servings. |
