The flavor and texture was wonderful, soft and juicy pears with ginger and the crunchy crust. Read more Definitely a keeper, adapted from Cooking light. See less

With processor on, slowly pour ice water through food chute, processing just until blended (do not allow dough to form a ball).

Cover the dough with 2 additional sheets of overlapping plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into an 11-inch circle. Place the dough in freezer 5 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.
