Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large firm pears, cored and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
½ cup white sugar, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
¼ cup butter, sliced
6 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Toss pear slices with 1/4 cup white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to coat.
  • Arrange butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and place on the center rack of the oven. Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove skillet from oven once the butter has just melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy; add milk, 1/4 cup white sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and mix until just combined. Sift flour into egg mixture and stir until batter is just mixed.
  • Stir pear slices into the melted butter and spread into a single layer. Pour batter over pears.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pancake is set in the middle, the sides have risen, and the bottom is browned, 28 to 30 minutes. Top pancake with confectioners' sugar.
