    2/3 cup butter-flavored shortening
    4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
    6 small ripe pears, peeled and cored
    6 tablespoons brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 tablespoon sugar

    In a bowl, combine flour, salt and cornstarch.

    Place one pear in center of each square.
    Pack pear centers with brown sugar; sprinkle with cinnamon.
