COOKIE DOUGH CRUST:
1/3 c. butter
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
For the Filling:
Juice of 1 lemon
4-6 ripe pears, peeled, cored and halved
or canned half pears
Custard filling:
¾ cup sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
1.In a bowl, mix the flour, butter, salt and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse flour.
Mix the dough. It will be crumbly. Pat the dough in an 11 inch spring form pan with a removable bottom.
Bake in the lower third of the oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and cool.
3.Reduce the oven temp to 350 degrees.
Mix lemon juice with enough water to cover the pears and parboil pears. (I use canned half pears.) Drain.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, eggs, flour, and salt, beating until pale yellow and thick. Beat the melted butter in to the sugar mixture and then the vanilla. Set aside.
Arrange the pears in the pastry shell.
Pour the egg mixture over the pears.
Bake for 50-60 minutes in the lower third of the oven.
