Select pears that are not too ripe. Plunge them into boiling water; their skins will peel off easily. Slice cooked pears into buttered pie dish, alternate with dry ingredients (mixed) and rest of butter and lemon juice. Cover with slashed pastry top. Bake 45 to 50 minutes. Serve with whipped cream. Cover pie crust with foil if it is browning too much.
