Method

    1. To make the lemon curd, combine sugar, lemon juice, rind and yolks in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a jug. Using a stick blender, add butter, cube by cube, and blend to emulsify. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until thickened.


    2. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add butter and melt. Add pears, extra sugar and lemon juice, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until caramelised and pears have softened. Set aside.


    3. To make the Yorkshire, place oil into a 23cm cast-iron pot and transfer to the oven. Preheat on steam cooking function at 230°C.


    4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Sift over flour and whisk to combine, then pour into a jug. Set aside for 10 minutes.


    5. Carefully slide out the oven rack and quickly pour batter into hot cast-iron pan. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until puffy and cooked through. Remove from the oven using an oven mitt or a dry tea towel.


    6. Serve immediately, topped with lemon curd, pears, blackberries, and dusted with icing sugar.
