Adaptation documentaire ; illustration synthétique. Recette non cuisinée ni mesurée par cette campagne. Adaptations : Use pasteurized beaten whole egg for the wash and cool safely for cold service. Keep pastry rests chilled, preserve the separate 43 g and 85 g butter doses, and use a 9.5-inch pie plate. Cook pastry and fruit fully; source 40+2 minutes do not establish a measured endpoint or capacity. Limites : Pear trim, juice and eight-pear fill are unmeasured.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Make full pastry ONCE: sift 227 g flour and make a well. Work 43 g initial butter, about 120 mL COLD water and the salt estimate in its centre THREE minutes; gradually incorporate flour FIVE minutes. Cover on a plate and rest refrigerated for the source unspecified FEW minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Enclose the SEPARATE 85 g well-washed folding butter in the dough. Roll lengthwise and fold into THIRDS. Chill THREE minutes, roll and fold again, then refrigerate FIVE minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove stems and peel EIGHT medium fresh pears; halve, remove seeds and slice. Turn well with 57 g VANILLA sugar and HALF teaspoon ground cinnamon.

  4. Step 4

    Roll HALF the paste to a TEN-inch round and line a lightly buttered 9.5-inch pie plate. Add the prepared fruit, leaving ONE inch clear around the edge. No mincemeat filling is prepared.

  5. Step 5

    Roll the remaining HALF as a lid, fold in TWO and make THREE light centre incisions, EACH HALF inch. Lightly moisten the rim with pasteurized beaten whole egg, cover and seal, then lightly brush the top with pasteurized beaten whole egg.

  6. Step 6

    Bake in a moderate oven for the FORTY-minute source guide until the pastry is cooked and fruit filling tender. At the oven door liberally sprinkle unquantified POWDERED sugar, return to the CLOSED oven TWO minutes until the sugar is ENTIRELY MELTED.

  7. Step 7

    Move to a dessert dish and cool safely for the selected COLD service; cut portions when required.
