Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pear Scones.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for some delicious scones.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
This blend will create a lovely base for your scones.
Step 4
Next, take some chilled butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, almost like sandy beach vibes.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together an egg and some half-and-half cream until well combined.
Step 6
Pour this creamy mixture into your flour blend and stir gently until everything is just combined—no need to overmix here! Now, it’s time to fold in the star of the show: the chopped pear.
Step 7
This will add a delightful sweetness and texture to your scones.
Step 8
Using a large spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one so they can spread out beautifully while baking.
Step 9
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the scones bake for around 15 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 10
Once they’re done, allow them to cool for a few moments on a wire rack—this will make them even more irresistible.
Step 11
Enjoy your freshly baked pear scones warm, perhaps with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter for an extra treat!.
