Chocolate Pear Pudding

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease an 8 1/2-inch square ovenproof dish with butter.

2. 2

   Drain the pears and arrange them on the base of the prepared dish.

3. 3

   Put all the remaining ingredients in a processor and blitz until you have a batter with a soft dropping consistency.

4. 4

   Spread the brown batter over the pears, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes and then cut into slabs - I cut 2 down and 2 across to make nine slices - and serve with chocolate sauce.
