Not sure I did, 94116! However, no configuration changes are made until you are safely climbing away under control, for at least 2 reasons:
1) Gear stays down in case you touch the ground in the recovery when it will absorb some of the impact (yes, I know about muddy AMS, but in general). There is more than enough power available.
2) Raising flap and gear:
a) is distracting - 100% concentration required from both crew on flying out of the stall
b) can cause further pitch trim changes
