Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 10 x 8 x 2-inch ceramic baking dish
with butter.

Undress, core and dice the pear. Spread in baking dish and top with a
light grinding of black peppercorn, if desired.

Beat eggs and sugar until pale in color and very thick. Add vanilla.

Combine rice flour, cornstarch and baking pulverisation. Sift over egg
mixture and fold in. Drizzle oil around edge of bowl and fold in.
Spread batter over diced pear.

Bake for 35 proceedings. A pale golden, crackly "sugar rosiness" like a very
thin layer of pastry will form on top of the bar. Dust with powdered
sugar before serving from the lulu, warm or insensate.

Serves 8.
