Scones:
2 cups all-purpose flour -- (250 g)
1/4 cup granulated sugar -- (50 g)
1 tablespoon baking powder -- (15 g)
2 teaspoons kosher salt -- (6 g)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon -- (2 g)
1 teaspoon ground ginger -- (2 g)
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg -- (1 g)
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom -- (0.5 g)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper -- (0.5 g)
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter -- cubed, (70 g)
2 small pears -- cored and chopped
1 cup heavy whipping cream -- plus
1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream -- divided
1 large egg
Spiced Pear Syrup:
1/4 cup granulated sugar -- (50 g)
1/4 cup water
1 pear -- sliced
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
Pear Glaze:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar -- (60 g)
2 tablespoons Spiced Pear Syrup
Baked with an aromatic Indian spice and topped with a sweet pear
drizzle, these spiced scones are bursting with flavor.
Preheat oven to 425F. Spray an 8" round cake pan with baking spray
with flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For scones: In the work bowl of a food processor, place flour, sugar,
baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and pepper;
pulse until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly.
Transfer dough to a large bowl, and fold in pears and 1 cup cream,
stirring until combined. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured
surface, and knead briefly, just until dough comes together. Press
dough into prepared cake pan. Turn out, and using a sharp knife or
bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges to prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and remaining 1 teaspoon cream.
Brush tops of scones with egg wash, and bake until golden brown, 12
to 16 minutes.
For spiced pear syrup: In a small saucepan, bring sugar, 1/4 cup
water, pear, cinnamon, and star anise to a boil over medium-high
heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5
minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely. Strain mixture
through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
For pear glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar
and Spiced Pear Syrup until smooth. Drizzle over warm scones.
Question: What kind of pears would you recommend for this recipe? I
can't wait to try itâ?¦the recipe looks awesome!
Response: Thanks for reaching out! You could use any types of pears
that you would like, but we recommend using a Bartlett Pears.
Review: These are fantastic!! Just the right texture, with the pears
adding a little moisture. I used anjou pears (unpeeled) and they are delicious!
Review: Probably would be good if the flavor wasn't overwhelmed by
salt. I might try this again and cut the salt in half.
Review: My favorite annual fall-kickoff recipe! The recipe rides a
bit on the salty side, like another person mentioned, so I would be
light handed with the pour.
Overall, though, it's an easy-to-follow and easy-to-make recipe with
a result that could trick people into thinking you spent all day on
these scones! I cannot recommend this recipe enough, although I try
to not mention it too often so people don't know my secret for
fabulous and flavorful scones!
