pear custard pie.

Hope everyone had wonderful holidays, and that the new year is treating you well. For me, well, I'm sick...again. I just had the flu like a week before Christmas, and again I'm congested, I cant hear, I cant breath, and it hurts to swallow....I blame my job.

I've had this dessert ready to post for a while, but one: I didnt feel like posting, and two: I dont think I really enjoyed it. I think I was expecting it to taste creamier and sweeter, and it was just, not. Daniel really enjoyed it though, which is why I am posting. If you really like custard I say go for it! I really enjoyed the pears though.

So you begin by peeling the pears, slicing them, and laying them into a pie dish(I used my new ramekins from my sister). Next blend all the ingredients and pour over the pears. 

Put in the oven and bake for 40 min-ish 'til their golden brown. Cool and sprinkle with powder sugar.

I got this recipe from Shutterbean. It was one of the first posts I'd seen, and it just looked so tasty....meh is all I feel for it.

Pear Custard Pie

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted plus more for the pie dish
• 3 ripe but firm Comice or Bartlett pears, peeled, halved and cored
• 1/3 cup  sugar
• 1/3 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• confectioner's sugar, for dusting

Preheat oven to 350F; butter a 9 inch pie dish. Slice the pears 1/4 inch thick lengthwise. Arrange the slices, overlapping slices, in the dish.

In a blender, process the melted butter, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, eggs, milk and salt until smooth.

Pour the batter over the pears; bake until golden and firm to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusting with confectioner's sugar.
