Recipe Text:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pear - peeled, cored and
diced
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
oil for deep frying

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the pears until caramelized; set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper; form a well in the center. In a small, separate bowl beat the egg with the milk and pour into the dry ingredients; mix well.

Gently fold pears into the batter.

Heat deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop batter by rounded spoonfuls into hot oil, and fry until golden brown. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve hot.
