Categories: Fruits, Pastry, Desserts
     Yield: 6 servings

MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
     1 c  A-P flour
   1/2 ts Salt
     5 tb Butter; cold
     4 tb Water; up to 5 tb

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
   1/2 c  Butter
     1 c  Sugar
     4 md Pears; peeled, cored,
          - quartered

 Combine all-purpose flour and salt; cut in cold butter until
 crumbly. Gradually add 4-5 tb ice water, tossing with a fork until
 the dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap and
 refrigerate for 1 hour.

 Set oven # 375°F/190°C.

 In a 10" cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, melt butter. Add
 sugar, stirring until it is liquefied and starts to turn golden
 brown. Add pears. Cook on medium-high until pears are crisp-tender
 and caramel is brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat.

 Roll out the dough to an 11-inch circle; place over pears in the
 ovenproof skillet, pressing gently to completely cover. Do not
 flute. Bake until pears are tender and the crust is golden brown,
 about 30 minutes.  Cool 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving
 plate.
