Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Cream the butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, baking powder, milk and flour, then, using an electric mixer, mix until thoroughly combined. Place 2 large pear slices on the sides of each ramekin, teacup or mould, then evenly pour over the mixture.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Once slightly cooled, remove from the moulds using a knife and serve with toasted coconut and a dusting of icing sugar.
