Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 3 medium pears (ripe but firm)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons honey (for drizzling)
- 1 cup optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the biscuits bake, peel, core, and slice the pears into wedges.
In a medium bowl, toss the pears with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Spread the pears onto a separate lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes, or until caramelized and tender.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.
To assemble, split the warm biscuits in half and layer with roasted pears. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and drizzle with honey.
Serve immediately with optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
