How to Make Maple Pear Deep Dish Pancake

  1. In a medium bowl, gently toss 2 large ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced, with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Let stand for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Generously butter a wide, round 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend until just combined, about 1 minute.
  5. Pour enough batter into the prepared baking dish to create a 1/4-inch layer.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  7. Carefully remove the pear slices from the syrup using a slotted spoon, reserving the syrup.
  8. Arrange the pear slices closely together on top of the baked batter. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sliced almonds.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the pears.
  10. Evenly spoon the reserved pear syrup over the top.
  11. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the pancake cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before serving.
  13. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
