Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon butter, cut up

  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1 cup thinly sliced, cored pears

  • 3 eggs

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

  • teaspoon salt

  • cup caramel ice cream topping or dulce de leche, warmed

  • Powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Place butter in a 10-inch oven-going skillet in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl stir together 2 Tbsp. of the granulated sugar and 1/8 tsp. each of the cinnamon and cardamom. Add pear slices; toss gently to coat.

  3. Remove skillet from oven and swirl to coat surface with butter. Spread pear mixture evenly in skillet. Bake 10 minutes or until pears are slightly softened and butter is bubbling and beginning to brown around the edges.

  4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, salt, remaining 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar, and remaining 1/8 tsp. each cinnamon and cardamom until smooth.

  5. Pour batter over pears. Bake 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Remove skillet; let stand 5 minutes (pancake will deflate during standing). Drizzle with caramel topping and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Individual Sweet Dutch Baby:

Prepare as above, except divide butter and filing among 4 12-ounce individual ceramic or cast iron casseroles. Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until puffed and golden.
