Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 4 tablespoons cold butter, divided
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 cup buckwheat flour
• 0.125 cup packed brown sugar
• 1.5 pounds Comice pears - peeled, cored, and cubed
• 0.25 cup white rice flour
• 0.25 cup brown rice flour
• 0.25 cup cold milk, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cube 1 tablespoon of butter and place in an 8-inch round baking dish.

Step 2

Place pears in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice and toss to coat. Sprinkle cornstarch over pears and toss to coat. Set aside.

Step 3

Whisk white rice flour, brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Cut in remaining butter until the mixture resembles coarse pebbles. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to pull together and form a ball.

Step 4

Pour the pears into the prepared baking dish, covering the cubed butter. Drop walnut-sized balls of dough on top, pushing down to flatten and form a crust.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until top has browned and pears are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
