Oven Pear Pancake

I have pretty frequent pancake cravings, but I'm not always in the mood to smoke up the whole house. We just happened to have some pears laying around, and I was afraid they would go bad if I didn't hurry and do something with them. That's when I found out you can make pancakes in the oven, and I managed to find a recipe that uses pears.

Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with vegetable cooking spray. Peel, core, and cut into eighths and arrange them in the pie plate.

I didn't have a pie plate, so I just used a square pan.

Combine 1/2 cup minus 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, eggs, whole milk, vanilla, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Pulse until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour over the pears.

Place in the oven and bake until springy to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven.

I didn't do the broiler thing. I just sprinkled the sugar on top and stuck it back in the oven for a little bit. It didn't brown. Oh well.

Ok, this is not pancake. This is custard. I was sorely disappointed. I do not like custard or pretty much anything with that type of texture. I was wondering why the recipe asked for so many eggs. Never again. NEVER AGAIN.
