- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, and then on low speed add the 2/3 cup sugar, the flour, salt, heavy cream, milk, grated anise and pear brandy. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth, and then let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Pears Quarter, core and peel the pears. Cut them into ⅛ inch lengthwise slices. You should have about 3 cups. Toss the pears in a bowl with the sugar and cinnamon and arrange them in the prepared pastry shell. Custard Beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl until mixture is thick, pale yellow, and falls back on itself forming a slowly dissolving ribbon. Beat in the flour and cream. Finally add the Cognac. Pastry Dough Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 9 inch removable tart pan. Place flour in a bowl of a food processor. Mix in the sugar and the salt. Rub the butter and dry ingredients together rapidly with the tips of your fingers or a fork, until a dough forms. Form again into a ball, and chill for several hours until firm. Mold the pastry in a removable-bottomed tart pan. Add pears and bake in the upper third of a preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the pears start to color and are almost tender. Remove from the oven and let cool while preparing the custard. Top pears with custard and return to the oven for 10 mins or until cream begins to puff.
