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.
