Directions
Using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, blend the butter until soft. Slowly add milk to softened butter and beat until very light in color. In a separate bowl, combine ingredients and add to butter mixture.
Mix until just combined, careful not to overmix. Place on floured surface, divide into 4 equal pieces and roll into balls, then flatten into a disc shape. Wrap discs in plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled. With a rolling pin, roll out dough into circles approximately 14 inches in diameter. Place dough on baking sheet and turn the edge in about 1 inch (this will create the crust of the pizza). Dock the dough with a fork and place in the refrigerator to chill. Cream Base: In an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat eggs and sugar until light in color. Add vanilla, flour, and butter and continue to beat on medium speed for about 6 minutes until very fluffy and pale in color. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. To assemble pizza, spread the cream base on the bottom of the pizza dough, careful not to get any on the crust. Place pear slices in a circular pattern, like a fruit tart, over the top. Brush the fruit with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in preheated oven for ---- minutes until crust turns a light golden brown. This recipe yields ?? servings.
