MAKE IT
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450º F.

Melt butter in 9-inch deep-dish pie plate in oven for 2 minutes or until melted; remove from oven. Carefully swirl melted butter around bottom and sides to coat.
Step 3
Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom in small bowl; set aside. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Whisk 3/4 cup evaporated milk and eggs in separate small bowl until blended. Add to flour mixture; whisk for 30 seconds until smooth. Pour batter onto melted butter in hot pie plate. Push pear slices gently into batter, forming a pinwheel. Sprinkle with sugar-cardamom mixture.
Step 4
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Heat remaining evaporated milk, egg yolks, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon cardamom in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce coats back of spoon. Do not boil. Makes about 1 cup. Spoon sauce over warm Pear Clafoutis and serve.
RECIPE NOTES
Ground cinnamon can be substituted for ground cardamom.
For a sweet treat, use cardamom custard sauce alone over fresh fruit.
