Why This Recipe Is So Delicious
This dessert is a wonderful way to enjoy the naturally sweet and juicy flavor of pears without gluten. It’s warm, comforting, and perfect for those with dietary restrictions. The combination of tender fruit and a crumbly topping makes every bite satisfying and delicious.
Step 1
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut a tablespoon of butter into small cubes and scatter them in an 8-inch round baking dish. In a bowl, toss the pears with a little lemon juice to keep them fresh, then sprinkle the cornstarch over and mix well to coat evenly. Set this aside for now.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the white rice flour, brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, and baking powder. Cut in the rest of the butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Slowly add the milk, a tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough just starts to come together into a ball.
Step 3
Pour the pear mixture over the butter in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Then drop spoonfuls of the dough over the pears—about the size of walnuts—and gently press them down to form a rustic crust.
Step 4
Pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until the topping is golden and the pears are bubbling around the edges. Let it cool slightly, then serve it warm and enjoy!
