We had a shortened day of school today for parent/teacher conferences today. It was a sweet time for me and my boys. One of the things they wanted to do is bake. We had some pears that had ripened beyond being enjoyable by themselves. I suggested they find a recipe to use the pears. Joseph found this recipe. He ALLOWED his brother to help him, and they made this all by themselves. It is fantastic! We enjoyed our slices with a scoop of pumpkin ice cream.
Pear Custard Pie
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter melted, plus more for the pie dish
3 ripe pears, peeled, halved and cored
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
Confectioner's sugar for dusting
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9 inch pie dish. Slice the pears 1/4 inch thick and arranged the slices in the dish.
2. In a blender, process the melted butter, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla, eggs, milk and salt until smooth.
3. Pour the batter over the pears; bake until golden and firm to the touch, 40-45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar.
