Looking at the ingredient list, one might think that this is really an omelet. However, though it doesn't taste like a Bisquick-style pancake it tastes more like like a pancake than anything else. While it's in a category of its own, it's delicious and I hope you'll love it as much as we do! It is also delicious made with a granny smith apple (our most frequently served version) and I think it might be really yummy made with plums as well.
Pear Pancakes
1 pear, slightly under ripe
2 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
Grate pear, and squeeze all the juice you can out of the grated pear, discard juice. In separate bowl, beat eggs well. Add the remaining ingredients, beat well. Stir in grated pear.
In a large heavy saute pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat(if you are using a non-stick pan you need just a scant amount). Pour in egg mixture, and pat/press mixture into an even layer about 1/2" thick. It will be about 7" in diameter.
Cook over medium heat 3-4 minutes or until nicely browned. Flip, carefully, and cook another 3 minutes or until browned on the other side. Serve with syrup, jam, sour cream, or just plain.
