Dough Prep
  1. Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Shred the butter into the bowl and mix.
  3. Add ice water 1/4 cup at a time and mix. Mix it with a spoon, then later use your hands to mix and slightly knead the dough.
  4. Roll the dough into a ball. Cover and place it into the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  5. Place the dough onto a well-floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle.
  6. Fold the dough like a piece of paper before putting it into an envelope. Then roll it out again.
  7. Once again, fold the dough with the envelope fold.
  8. Roll it out again and fold it another time. This time, place it into the fridge for 15 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Then cover your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Filling
  1. Mix your honey and vanilla paste in a small bowl.
  2. Prep your egg wash.
Construction
  1. Roll out your dough one last time into a rectangle. You want it to be about 1/2 a cm to 1 cm thick.
  2. Cut into pieces that are approximately 6 inches by 8 inches.
  3. Drizzle your honey vanilla mixture into each space.
  4. Place 3 slices of pears into each space over the honey.
  5. Then, add your caramel on top of the pears.
  6. Cover each space with your puff pastry dough. Press down all around the ends.
  7. Brush your egg wash onto each puff pastry.
  8. Bake for 15-17 minutes.
