Pear and Almond Flour Clafoutis

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2.Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish or pie dish with butter, ensuring the sides and bottom are well coated.

3.In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy, about 2-3 minutes.

4.Add the almond flour and salt to the egg mixture and gently fold until combined.

5.Slowly whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and homogenous.

6.Arrange the sliced pear halves evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

7.Pour the almond batter over the pears, making sure they are evenly covered.

8.Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed, golden around the edges, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9.Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly; the clafoutis will deflate a bit as it cools, which is normal.

10.Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.

11.Serve warm or at room temperature as a light dessert or sweet treat.
