Ingredients
- 1½ cups self-raising flour
- ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup (90 g) tahini
- ⅔ cup maple flavoured syrup
- 2 eggs, beaten lightly
- 1½ cups buttermilk
- 50 g butter
- 3 medium firm pears, unpeeled, each cut into 6 wedges
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Toasted sesame seeds, to serve
Instructions
PREHEAT oven to 220°C. Place a 26cm ovenproof skillet in the oven to preheat.
PLACE flour, bicarb and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons each of the tahini and syrup, then the egg and buttermilk; whisk until combined.
HEAT 30g of the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add pears; cook, turning occasionally, for 8 minutes or until browned and almost tender. Add the remaining cinnamon, tahini and syrup then the lemon juice; stir gently until combined. Cook, over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the pears are tender and the sauce is thickened. Set aside.
CAREFULLY but quickly remove the hot skillet from the oven; add the remaining butter, swirl to coat. Pour in the pancake mixture; smooth the surface. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
TO serve, top hot cake with tahini maple pears and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
