Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare the pears

Peel 335 g Pears, cut into quarters and remove the core.

Cut into small pieces.

Stage 2 - 4 min.

Melt 20 g butter in a large frying pan on high heat, then add 25 g caster sugar.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

When this is well mixed, add the diced pears.

Mix briefly, then leave to caramelize on high heat.

Note: You will notice that the pears give off quite a lot of juice as they cook, which slows down the caramelization.

Stage 4 - 15 min.

Stir from time to time so that the pears colour evenly. Take off the heat as soon as they are nicely coloured.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Prepare 135 g paris flan filling.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Divide the diced pears between the buttered ramekins.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Cover with the custard.

Stage 8 - 25 min.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

You can use all-purpose flour instead of cornflour, that was what chefs and pastry use in the past, you may need to cook a bit longer, just check carefully the consistency.

This looks delicious! I am in Russia, and I am not sure about being able to obtain cornflour. Would it alter the consistency of the custard if I were to use just regular all-purpose flour? Thank you :)
