Pear Clafouti With Lime And Honey - pears

Method

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch glass, deep-dish pie plate/pan. Place pan on a baking sheet lined with foil, shiny side up.
• Peel and core the pears, and cut into thin slices/wedges. Place in a medium bowl, add lime juice and gently toss to coat. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, ginger and lime zest together until evenly mixed. Whisk in the melted butter. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each one until mixture is light and fluffy. Add the whipping cream in a fine stream and slowly whisk until well blended.
• Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the prepared pan. Drain the pear slices in a sieve and attractively arrange them in a single layer atop the egg mixture. Gently pour over the remaining egg mixture. Drizzle the honey over the top in a spiral fashion.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until the flan is set, and the top is puffed and golden brown.
• Slice and serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with lime zest.
