Ingredients
- 3 pears
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 tablespoons candied ginger
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and peel and core the pears. Cut into 1-inch chunk and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet, sprayed with pam. Roast until they feel dry to the touch and are slightly browned, 30 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt together. Add in the cooled pear chunks, butter, heavy cream and 1 egg until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips. On a floured work surface, pat our the dough into a 6 inch round. If the dough is too sticky, add 1/4 cup more flour. Cut into 8 large wedges and transfer to a baking sheet sprayed with pam, leaving 2 inches apart. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water and a pinch of salt. Brush the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake scones until golden, 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
