(save scraps for another use).
Transfer to freezer until firm but
pliable, about 15 minutes. Repeat
with second piece of puff pastry.- Use a small cookie cutter or
pastry tip to stamp out a 1-inch-
diameter steam vent in center of
first round (this will be your top).
Gently press an inverted bowl
or 9-inch cake pan into center of
round to create a border. Freeze
until firm but still pliable, 15 to
20 minutes. With a paring knife,
score 8 ovals with leaflike
points from center of vent out
to border to create “petals,”
being careful not to cut all the
way through dough. Score each
petal to make veins. Add addi-
tional flourishes, if desired. - Preheat oven to 375° with a
rack in lower third. Remove pears
from liquid; slice each half into
thirds. Remove second dough
round from freezer and shingle
with pears, leaving a 1-inch
border; transfer to refrigerator. - Separate egg; whisk white in
a small bowl. In a separate bowl,
whisk yolk with cream. Brush
border of bottom round with egg
white, and lay top round over
it, pressing to adhere. With the
back of a paring knife, score
around edges at a slight angle
in ¼-inch increments. Refriger-
ate 20 minutes. - Remove pie from refrigerator
and brush with yolk-cream
mixture. Bake, rotating once,
until puffed and very golden,
45 to 50 minutes (if browning too
quickly, tent with foil). Let cool
20 minutes before slicing and
serving, with ice cream.
