Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature, for pan
1/2 cup (3 1/2 oz) granulated sugar
2 tbsp plus 1 tsp cornstarch
pinch of fine sea salt
4 large pears, peeled, cored, and sliced (2 lb prepped)
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 dry pint (2 cups or 9 oz) raspberries, fresh or frozen
1 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 3/4 cups (8 3/4 oz) all-purpose flour
3 tbsp plus 1 tbsp (1 3/4 oz) granulated sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
10 tbsp (5 oz) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/3 cup (2 oz) chopped candied ginger
2/3 cup plus 1 tbsp cold buttermilk

Directions:

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or 9-inch deep-dish pie pan.
To make the fruit filling, rub the sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl, then add the pears and lemon juice and toss until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the raspberries, then transfer the fruit to the prepared pan.
Distribute the butter atop the fruit.
To make the biscuit, whisk the flour, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, the baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
Add the butter and toss until evenly coated. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the size of large peas. (Alternatively, you can put the dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine.
Add the butter and pulse until the butter is the size of large peas, then transfer to a bowl).
Stir in the candied ginger, then pour in the 2⁄3 cup buttermilk and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
The dough will be crumbly, with large pieces of butter still visible. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently press the dough together, then press it into a 9-inch circle.
Carefully place the dough atop the fruit. Brush the dough with the 1 tablespoon buttermilk,then sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bake in the lower third of the oven for 30 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the juices are bubbly and thick.
Allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving.
