Instructions

1. Put the flour in a bowl (1), then cut the butter (2) into small pieces and add it to the flour (3).

   
2. Now mix well (4) with a mixer, and add the sugar (5). Then grate the lemon peel (6).

4. Pour the egg (10) in the dough and start kneading with your hands (11), adding a little water (12) if necessary.

   
5. Knead for 10 minutes and form a ball with the dough (13), to wrap in a kitchen foil (14), to leave in the refrigerator for about thirty minutes (15).

   
6. Wash the pears (16), then cut off the ends (17), and peel (18).

11. Place the slices of the pear all around the perimeter of the dough to form a large flower (31). Take the small piece of dough left aside and roll it with a rolling pin (32). then cut into strips (33).

    
12. Place the strips from the center (34), towards the sides (35), like rhombus. Bake for about thirty minutes in a pre-heated oven at 200°C, then take off (36) and let cool before serving at the table.
