How to Make Caramel Pear Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until the batter is smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 3 medium pears, peeled, cored, and sliced, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  5. Pour the batter into an ungreased 2-quart baking dish.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and 2 tablespoons water. Mix until well combined.
  7. Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The pudding will be set and the caramel will be bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).
