Pear Custard Pudding

Serves 6

4 large eggs
120g / 4 oz caster sugar
25g / 1 oz plain flour
small pinch of salt
250 ml / 8 1/2 fl oz whole milk and cream (mixed however you fancy)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 pears, peeled cored and quartered
butter for the dish
icing sugar for dusting

Butter a baking dish, approximately 22 by 30 cm. Preheat the oven to 200C / Gas Mark 6. Place the pears in the bottom of the dish, side by side. Whisk the eggs and sugar together till light and frothy, then continuing to whisk add the flour and salt till the mixture is like thin batter. Add the milk/cream combo and vanilla and whisk some more.
Pour the batter over the pears and bake it for 40-50 minutes till golden on top and almost set in the middle. Leave to cool and dust with icing sugar when still warm or serve cold. If there is any left for breakfast, then tuck in.
