How to Make Baked Pear Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and core the pears. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter; whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour half of the batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  6. Arrange the pear slices over the batter.
  7. Pour the remaining batter over the pears.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
