Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Allow ingredients to come to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. Zest and quarter lemon. Peel, halve, and core pears; dice into ½-inch pieces.

Step 2

Add 2 TBSP butter to a medium ovenproof pan. Once oven is preheated, place pan on middle rack; heat until butter melts and and starts to bubble. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, ricotta, half the lemon zest, three eggs, ½ cup milk, 1 TBSP white sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Step 4

Once butter melts, remove pan from oven and carefully swirl once to evenly coat bottom; pour in batter. Bake on middle rack until puffed and golden, 20 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add pears, cinnamon, and ½ tsp nutmeg (we sent more); cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add brown sugar, ½ cup water, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt; stir to combine, then cover. Cook until pears are tender, 8-10 minutes. TIP: Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 6

Uncover and cook until liquid is thickened and syrupy, 1-3 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. (TIP: If liquid seems too thick, stir in a splash more water.) Keep covered until ready to serve.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together crème fraîche and 1 TBSP maple syrup (save the rest for serving).

Step 8

Top dutch baby with pears, maple crème fraîche, and pecans. Drizzle with remaining maple syrup. Serve directly from pan (or cut into wedges and divide between plates).
