Directions

  1. Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a food processor 30 seconds to combine.
  2. Add butter. Pulse until butter pieces are the size of peas.
  3. Add buttermilk and almond extract; pulse until dough just comes together. Form dough into a disk, dusting lightly with flour. Cover in plastic wrap or wax paper and refrigerate 1 hour.
  4. Whisk egg white and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until frothy, about 1 minute.

  6. Whisk. Refrigerate.
  7. Peel and core pears, then cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick; toss in a bowl with lemon juice and zest.
  8. Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour; place dough on top and lightly dust with flour; top with another sheet of parchment and roll out dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Peel off top layer of parchment. Invert dough onto a baking sheet lined with third sheet of parchment. Trim around edges of dough.
