Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the diced pears.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
-
Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
