4
Remove the dough from the fridge and divide into 6 pieces. Roll the dough to form ovals approximately 3 mm thick. You can use the pears to measure the size of the pastry cases by placing the pears on top. There should be a border of approx 3 cm around each pear.
5
Wash the pears, slice them in half, remove the seeds from the centre with a spoon and make fine slits lengthwise, without reaching the base of the pear.
6
Spread 1 tbsp of the almond filling across the centre of each pastry case. Place the pears in the middle and fold back the edges, crimping the pastry above the pear.
7
Brush the edges with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place the pears in the fridge while preheating the oven to 180°C.
