INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for shaping)

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed

1 cup Pacific Northwest Lite Canned Pears, drained, diced, reserve juice

3 Tbsp. minced crystallized ginger

1 large egg

Pear Glaze*

METHOD

Pre-heat oven 400°F. 1. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well. Cut in butter until mixture resembled a coarse meal (can be done in food processor up to this point). Stir in pears and ginger. 2. In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup reserved Pear juice and egg, mix well. Stir into flour-butter mixture and mix just to combine and create a mass. 3. On a well-floured board, turn out dough and roll in flour to create a skin. Gently roll dough into a 12x4-in. rectangle. Cut the rectangle into six 4x3-in. triangles. 4. Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and let scones cool slightly before sprinkling with powdered sugar or glazing with Pear Glaze*. *PEAR GLAZE
