We love the delicate flavor of these scones. Make sure to use firm pears...too soft and you lose the texture during baking. Also can make this with apples and cheddar for a more intense flavor. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces |
1 cup lightly packed finely shredded gruyere cheese |
2 -3 peeled bartlett pears, shredded and pressed and drained |
3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Combine dry ingredients in food processor.
3. Add butter and pulse until mixture looks like pea size crumbles.
4. Transfer to a bowl and add cheese and pears.
5. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined.
6. Add more buttermilk if needed, 1 tbs at a time, until dough comes together.
7. Knead gently several times with floured hands on a lightly floured surface. Dough should just come together and not be sticky.
8. Pat into an 8 round, about 1/2 thick.
9. Cut into 8 triangles with a sharp knife and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Bake at 400 for 24 minutes or until golden brown.
