3.Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and wrap with aluminum foil and place in a preheated oven to stay warm while we make the caramelized pears.
4. Heat the butter in a large frying pan, just as its starting to turn brown add the pears. Fry the pears in the butter for about 3 minutes or until all sides are golden brown. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves and the pan juices turn sticky.
5. Remove the pancakes from the oven and take them out of the aluminum foil. divide the pears among the pancakes. Fold each pancake in half over the filling, then into quarters and place 2 pancakes on each plate. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top of the pancakes.
