Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven.
- Add the flour, pears, baking powder and salt to a food processor. Pulse 2 to 3 times to combine. Add 5 tablespoons butter, pulsing until it resembles a coarse meal. Pour in the half-and-half and 2 tablespoons maple syrup and pulse until just combined. Transfer to a floured work surface and roll the dough into a square about 1/2-inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass works, too), cut 8 biscuits, re-rolling if necessary.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the hot skillet. Swirl the skillet to coat the bottom and sides with butter, then pour the butter into a bowl and mix with the remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Add the biscuits to the skillet and brush them each with a little of the maple butter, saving the rest for finishing.
- Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Brush the remaining maple butter on the biscuits and let them cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5, then roast the pears for 10 mins. Tip the biscuits into a food bag and use a rolling pin to lightly crush them.

PEANUT BISCUITS
My sister-in-law was bemoaning the fact that "You can't buy Peanut Biscuits anymore" - I'd never even heard of them - but her birthday was coming up so I searched high and low to find some recipes. I found lots and did various test bakes to find the perfect one.........and here it is! The preparation time is dependant on your ingredients really; the only 'blanched peanuts' I can get are whole, so I have to break them up by hand - I tried a mortar and pestle but they bounced everywhere; so I tried putting them in a bag and bashed it with my rolling pin - the bag split and the nuts bounced everywhere again! I now sit down and break them up by hand. Good excuse for a long sit down I say ;o) Oh I can make it last for AGES (giggle) (I've shortened this time now... by pressing the nuts against the blade a knife; allowing the separated bottom ends to drop into a bowl; then using the point of the blade to twist the jointed top end of the nut apart.) I have made these SO many times now that I can offer a few more ideas to make it even easier - once the sugar and butter are combined, add the egg and THEN "beat well together until thick and pale" - if you stir in the peanuts BEFORE you addd the flour it all combines much more easily and doesn't make any difference to the finished product! I don't buy biscuits anymore - all I ever have in is - these biscuits and "Chewy English Flapjack" (Recipe #1472863)

Steps:
- Cream butter and sugar until thick and pale.
- Stir in egg, then sifted flour a little at a time, then nuts. *see intro*.
- Stir to combine.
- Place rounded teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking tray and press with fork to flatten.
- Cook 350F/180C for 20 minutes until golden brown.
- (I bake mine in a fan oven at 160C for 12 minutes and 30 seconds exactly! - and they come out perfect every time.).
Tips:
- Use ripe pears: Ripe pears are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which will make your biscuits more delicious.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise more evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: Baking the biscuits at a high temperature will help them rise quickly and create a crispy exterior.
- Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaking the biscuits will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Pear nut biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be whipped up in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or dessert, give pear nut biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed!
