Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Afternoon tea, Snack, Supper

Time 35m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

225g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting
1 tsp baking powder
50g butter , cubed
50g walnuts , finely chopped, plus 6 walnut halves for the tops
125-150ml whole milk
1 egg , beaten
soft goat's cheese , to serve (optional)
fig jam , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the flour, baking powder and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the chopped walnuts and the milk, mix together using a cutlery knife until clumping together, then tip onto your work surface and squash together to form a ball - try not to work the dough too much or your scones will be heavy. Flatten the dough a little with your hand to make a disc roughly 3cm thick, then use a sharp knife to cut into 6 triangles.
  • Transfer to a baking sheet, brush with a little beaten egg, then place a walnut half on each scone. Bake for 15 mins until golden and puffed, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with soft goat's cheese and fig jam, if you like.

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
3 1/4 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup chopped peeled apple
1 cup chopped peeled pear
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 egg
Sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • To make Caramel Sauce: In large microwavable glass bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, the corn syrup, water and lemon juice. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 7 minutes or until mixture turns a light golden color. Transfer to cooling rack for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave whipping cream uncovered on High about 30 seconds or until warm. Slowly pour on top of sauce in large bowl, beating constantly with whisk. Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon butter; beat to combine. Cool completely before using.
  • To make Scones: Heat oven to 425°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.

  • In small bowl, beat whipping cream and egg with whisk. Stir cream mixture into Bisquick mixture with wooden spoon until dough forms.
  • Transfer dough to work surface lightly sprinkled with extra Bisquick mix. Knead until dough comes together (about 5 to 6 turns). Divide dough in half, then shape each half into 6-inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Transfer wedges to cookie sheet.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy pears for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will help to create a flaky scone.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.

Conclusion:

These pear walnut scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The scones are moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a crispy crust. The pears and walnuts add a touch of sweetness and crunch. These scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
