Chocolate Pear Pudding

Another unusual sounding combination that creates a rather unique and tasty pudding. A recipe from my mothers cookbook.

1 cup flour

1T cocoa

½-¾ cup milk

½tsp Vanilla essence

1 egg

pinch salt

¾ cup brown sugar

3tsp baking powder

¼ cup butter

2-3 firm pears, poached

¼ cup nuts (*optional)

Beat butter & sugar, add beaten egg. Sift dry ingredients and add alternatively with milk to butter mix. Add essence.

Sauce

1 cup brown sugar

2T cocoa

1-1¼ cups water

Stir together till boiling.

Put pears in the bottom of a 10″ greased round dish, add batter. Pour sauce over and sprinkle chopped nuts over.

Bake +- 35min @ 180.
