Put the milk, sugar, eggs, flour and salt in the blender and mix until smooth.
If you're making a large pie dish butter the mold with butter at room temperature before so you can slice it.
Peel, core and slice the pears.
If you're making a large pie dish, make one layer of pears at the bottom, then fill the dish half way through and layer more pears on top nicely. If you're making individual dishes like me, pour the mix halfway through and layer the pears on top making a circle. For more details watch the video above.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds.
Bake in the oven 35-40min at 180C for the individual dishes and 50min-1 hour for a large pie dish. It's done when golden on top and if you insert something pointy no dough comes out.
Serve warm and decorate with icing sugar.
