To blanch almonds:
1. Bring water to boil. Prepare ice bath. Add raw almonds, boil for 60 seconds, drain and quickly place in ice bath. Pinch to remove skin.
2. Grind in grinder until finely ground.
Make the crust:
1. In a food processor pulse together flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture forms chickpea sized pieces. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough just comes together. It should be moist but not wet. On a lightly floured surface, gather dough into a ball. Flatten, fold over itself by thirds several times, then form into a disk. Pinch the ends of the disk together and roll on edge to flatten. This will help it roll out rounder later. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 2 days, or vacuum pack and freeze.

Peel off parchment paper flip over the parchment paper place on top, then place baking sheet over and invert onto parchment covered sheet. Spread cream over center, leaving 2 inch rim.
2. Arrange pear slices in concentric circles slightly overlapping. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Fold edges of dough over edges of pears crimping every 2 inches.
3. Evenly scatter butter bits of butter over top of filling.
4. Beat egg yolk with a little bit of water. Coat rim of crust with mixture and sprinkle rim with large sugar crystals.
5. If crust has warmed up, refrigerate. Otherwise proceed to baking.
