- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg yolk

- Poke holes across the tart dough with a fork.
- Add a piece of parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake for 15 minutes until barely browned at all, remove the parchment and pie weights.
- Let cool.
Pear Filling:
- Add the pears in circles in the pan, like a fan design.
- In a food processor pulse together the sugar, flour, salt and butter until it makes crumbs.
- Top the pears with the butter mixture crumble.
- Sprinkle the sanding sugar over the pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool before slicing.
- Optional: Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
