Bartlett Pear Lattice Coffeecake

1 lg Fresh Red or Yellow NW Bartlett Pear; cored and sliced
1/2 c Sugar; divided
2 tb Flour
1 ts Grated orange peel
4 c Buttermilk baking mix
1/2 ts Ground cardamom
2 Eggs
3/4 c Milk

Toss pear with 2 tablespoons sugar, flour and orange peel. Combine baking mix, 6 tablespoons sugar and cardamom. Beat together eggs and milk; add to dry ingredients and stir until mixed. Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times. Cut off 2/3 of dough; pat on bottom and 1 inch up sides of 8-inch spring-form pan. Arrange pear slices over dough. Roll remaining dough into ropes and arrange, lattice-fashion, on top of pear slices. Bake at 375° F. for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden.

Always be sure to use ripe pears.
