  5. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl.
  6. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon of the remaining ice water at a time, until all the flour mixture is moistened.
  7. Form dough into a ball and on a lightly floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten dough.
  8. Roll dough from center to edge into a circle about 13 inches in diameter. Transfer dough circle to prepared baking sheet.

  18. In a small bowl, combine egg white and the 1 tablespoon water; beat with a fork.
  19. Brush mixture onto the top and side of the dough.
  20. Sprinkle with additional sugar.
  21. Bake about 45 minutes or until filling is bubbly, pears are tender, and pastry is golden.
  22. If necessary to prevent overbrowning, cover edge with foil for the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking.
  23. Cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
  24. Serve warm.
  25. If desired, serve with Spiced Whipped Cream or ice cream.
