directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 F. Generously butter 9-inch-diameter glass or ceramic pie or tart plate.
Step 2
Beat eggs, sugar and salt in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in flour. Add milk, maple syrup, butter, vanilla and maple extracts and cinnamon – whisk until smooth.
Step 3
Arrange pears in bottom of prepared plate. Pour custard over pears. Bake until clafoutis is set in center and golden on top, about 55 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle powdered sugar over and serve with more warmed maple syrup on the side. This would be a great tart to brulé the top of – sprinkle it with brown sugar rather than powdered and then torch or broil until browned and crispy.
