Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.

Followed recipe exactly. Came out delicious! Custard-like, fruity, but not too sweet. Great for breakfast. Will add more pear next time.

This was an oily flan- like floppy concoction. I followed the recipe to a tee and it just isn't something I find at all palatable.

Yummy! I changed my previous 4 star rating to 5 stars. Followed recipe exactly except I started the cooking at 425 for the first 7 minutes then turned it down to 400 for the last 23 minutes.

Baked it in cast iron skillet. Needed ~10 minutes extra cooking time. Substituted one thinly sliced apple for pear.

Tasty, easy to make. I sprinkled nutmeg over just before putting in oven.

This basic German pancake recipe is a very nice twist using Pears. I diced 3 large pears because I like fruit in every bite. That's the only change I made. I will make this again. It's easy and ...

This was most excellent. The texture inside it was wonderful and it rose really well in the oven. There was a good ratio of pear to pancake. It was a little on the sugary side, and I will con...
