Steps:

• Blend flour and baking powder in a bowl. Set aside.
• In an electric mixer at high speed, beat the eggs and maple sugar for about 5 minutes or until the mixture has tripled in volume.
• Reduce the speed. While still mixing, add in half the milk and the orange flower water (if desired), then the flour mixture. Add the rest of the milk. Use a spatula to stir in the pear. Leave to rest 10 minutes at room temperature.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low. When it's hot, brush with butter.
• For each pancake, pour about 80 ml (1/3 cup) of dough into the pan. (Cook 2 or 3 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of your pan.)
• Cook pancakes about 2 minutes per side. Turn when bubbles appear in the centre or the edges start to brown.
• If not serving pancakes right out of the pan, transfer to a plate and keep warm in a 100° C (200° F) oven.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until just combined. Fold in the cottage cheese with a rubber spatula. Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Arrange the pear wedges in the skillet in a pinwheel pattern, with the thin tips pointing out and the rounded ends meeting in the center. Cook to soften the pears slightly, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the brown sugar, cover and cook until the sugar starts to melt, about 2 minutes.
• Uncover the skillet and pour in the batter, starting at the outside edge and working in a circular pattern towards the center. (This will keep the pears in place.) Continue to cook on the stovetop until the butter starts to bubble up around the edges, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake, uncovered, until set and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Let cook 1 minute. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter into center of each pear ring. Using the bottom of a ladle, gently push batter over edges of pears. Let cook until pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around the edges, about 2 1/2 minutes.
