Sift in the flour and the salt and mix to a smooth batter. Spoon into the prepared dish and spread out evenly.
Slice the pears and arrange on top of the batter. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.

Topping: Beat the buttermilk and sugar together. Pour into a saucepan and whisk over low heat, but do not boil.
