Ingredients
- A total of 4 tablespoons of cold butter, split into parts
- Around 1 ½ pounds of Comice pears, peeled, cored, and cut into cubes
- A teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- Equal portions of white rice flour, brown rice flour, and buckwheat flour, each measuring ¼ cup
- 2 tablespoons of nutritious flaxseed meal
- A generous ⅛ cup of densely packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- ¼ cup of cold milk, divided into parts
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for a cozy baking session. Take 1 tablespoon of butter, chop it into small cubes, and lovingly place it into an 8-inch round baking dish to prepare for a delightful dessert creation.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, gather the pears and give them a gentle shower of fresh lemon juice, tossing them with care to ensure each slice is coated with zesty goodness. Sprinkle a touch of cornstarch over the pears, mixing them again to create a light, fruity coating that will add a lovely texture to your dish.
Step 3
Next, let's craft the crust! In another mixing bowl, combine a harmonious blend of white rice flour, brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, and baking powder. Use your hands to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles delightful coarse pebbles. Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough forms, hinting at the sweet creation to come.
Step 4
Now, pour the coated pears into the waiting baking dish, enveloping the cubes of butter in a sea of fruity goodness. Take small, walnut-sized portions of the dough and place them on top of the pears, gently pressing down to create a rustic, comforting crust that will bake to perfection.
Step 5
Slide the baking dish into the warm oven and let the magic happen. After about 30 minutes, your senses will be greeted with the tantalizing aroma of a golden-brown crust and bubbling pears, signaling that your masterpiece is ready to be savored. Serve this delightful dessert warm, letting the flavors dance on your taste buds.
