Ingredients:

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
11 fresh California Bartlett pears, peeled (if desired), sliced
2 pie crusts, 9-inch
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 egg white
1 tablespoon sugar

Directions:

Stir sugar with flour, mace and cinnamon; mix with pears so that all slices are coated.  Divide pastry dough in half; roll half on floured board and place in 9-inch pie pan.  Moisten edge with water. Turn pears into pie pan. Dot with butter and cover with top  crust. Crimp edges. Brush pastry with egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Cut 4 slits in  top to allow steam to escape. Bake on low shelf in 450 degree F. oven 25 minutes. (It may  be necessary to wrap edge of pie with foil if it starts to get too dark.) Reduce oven  temperature to 375 degrees F. and bake an additional 20 minutes. For best results, allow  pie to cool at least to lukewarm before cutting into 8 slices.
