Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Butter your baking dish. Slice pears, thinly. I left skins on as the pears were very ripe.
- I mixed everything in my vitamix, but you can mix in a kitchen aid or beat with electric mixer. Beat the eggs and sugar for a few minutes.
- Add flour, cream, milk, vanilla and almond extracts, salt and brandy. Blend on low to thoroughly mix.
- Arrange the pear slices, slightly overlapping. Pour the custard mixture over the pears. Sprinkle with the sliced almonds. Bake until the top is golden and the custard is set, 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a rack.
- Serve warm, cold or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch cake or pie pan.
- Peel the pears and cut them in half. Remove the core and any fibers and cut the halves into 1/4-inch slices. Put the slices in the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle them with the eau de vie and toss to coat; spread them in a fairly even layer. No need to be neat. Just toss in the fruit and spread it into an even layer.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until lightly frothy and the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle or sift in the flour and nutmeg and add the vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Gradually add the cream and milk, whisking just until smooth. Melt 2 Tbs. of the butter and stir it into the batter. Pour the batter over the fruit, sprinkle the almonds on top, and dot the surface with bits of the remaining 1 Tbs. butter. The batter is thin, like crêpe batter, so it's easy to pour.
- Bake until evenly puffed and brown and a skewer comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Serve warm.

PEAR CLAFOUTI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Butter a 10 x 3 x 1 1/2-inch round baking dish and sprinkle the bottom and sides with 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar.
- Beat the eggs and the 1/3 cup of granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. On low speed, mix in the flour, cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest, salt, and pear brandy. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel, quarter, core, and slice the pears. Arrange the slices in a single layer, slightly fanned out, in the baking dish. Pour the batter over the pears and bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is firm, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar, and creme fraiche.
PEAR CLAFOUTIS
It sounds odd to say that a recipe's biggest problem is that it looks too good, but that's sort of the case with this pear clafoutis, a crustless custard fruit tart that often looks a lot sweeter and richer that it actually is. Usually made with cherries, this rustic French dessert adapts easily to any kind of seasonal fruit. If desired, brush top with warmed fruit preserves and honey and garnish with whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream.

Tips:
- Use ripe pears. This will ensure that they are sweet and juicy, and will also help them to cook evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the clafoutis tough.
- Bake the clafoutis until it is just set. Overbaking will make it dry and rubbery.
- Serve the clafoutis warm or at room temperature. It is also delicious served cold.
- Garnish the clafoutis with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Almond pear clafoutis is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up ripe pears, and it can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold. With its delicate almond flavor and juicy pears, almond pear clafoutis is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
