In the midst of waiting for my pear liqueur to finish, I decided to tackle the 5 large bowls of pears that awaited me. Okay, so I tackled two whole pears (of the 5 large bowls). Ha ha!
I decided to make a Puffed Pear Pancake (Real Simple Recipes). It's baked right in a cast iron pan. Simple right?
Not only simple, but delicious. I took the advice of other reviews, and added a second pear, and extra spices. It was a nice after school snack for the kids. The batter bakes into a crust that has a somewhat "egg" flavor. It was really good topped with maple syrup too.
This is going to the top of the list of things to make! It looks fabulous and I love that it bakes right in the cast iron skillet.
ReplyDeleteOooo, thanks! My hubby loves pears, so I'll surprise him :)
ReplyDeleteIn France that would be called a 'matafan' or "mate faim" - 'faime' means hungry, and I haven't made one for years. Years ago before packaged foods, farm workers would take their matafan with them in the fields for when they wanted a little snack.
ReplyDeleteHaving a devil of a job finding a cast iron pan here. Have found one on line but the postage is almost as much as the pan!!
Reminds me a little bit of Dutch Pancakes which some call Dutch Babies which I loved to make a long time ago when I was first. I put strawberry jam and powdered sugar on ours. Yum!!!

Emma - Try thrift stores for good used cast iron pans. From time to time, I can find one there, and what's great about them being used is, they're often fully seasoned too.
