Recipe Instructions

Peel, core and slice thin (or cut into chunks) 1 pound of pears, which you arrange on the bottom of a buttered baking dish ( a soufflee dish is fine).

Sprinkle the pears with sugar, and dot with butter. Then mix together the flour, the cocoa powder, the baking soda and powder, add the golden corn syrup, the brown sugar, and then the egg, the butter and milk.

Beat together into a batter.

Pour the batter on top of the pears and bake the pudding for 45 to 50 minutes in a 325F oven.

It is nice topped with either ice or whipped cream.
