Pear and Blue Cheese Scones

Yield 8 servings

Soft and sweet, with pillows of pear and rich blue cheese and a drizzle of honey, these Pear and Blue Cheese Scones are the perfect pair with your morning cup of coffee! 

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.  Using a pastry cutter, 2 knives or your hands, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until they resemble small crumbs.  Gently fold in the blue cheese and pears.  Slowly add in the vanilla bean paste and buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together (overworking will result in tough, dry scones)
  3. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead the dough a few times. Shape into a round disk.  Cut into 8 triangles and arrange onto sheet pan.  Brush the tops with heavy cream
  4. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
