Comice Pear Clafoutis
- Salted butter for the dish
- 2 firm-ripe Comice pears (1 lb. total), peeled, cored, and sliced lengthwise about 1/3 in. thick
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly grated
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- Powdered sugar
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Butter a shallow 3-qt. baking dish (about 10 by 11 in.) and arrange pears in an attractive pattern over the bottom. (Fruit will rise to the top as batter bakes.)
- Put milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, orange zest, nutmeg, salt, and flour (in this order) in a blender and whirl until very smooth and frothy, 1 minute. Pour batter over pears.
- Bake until clafoutis is well browned and a little puffed, about 50 minutes.
- Let clafoutis cool on a rack about 15 minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
