These Pear and Ginger Scones with a rich White Chocolate Drizzle will make your taste buds dance. These scones are a delicious treat for any event because they have the right amount of sweet pears and tangy crystallized ginger.

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, diced. 1/2 cup diced fresh pear. 2 tbsp finely chopped crystallized ginger. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1/4 cup heavy cream. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup white chocolate chips.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold diced butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the diced pear and crystallized ginger. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut it into 8 equal wedges. Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. While the scones are cooling, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled scones. Serve and enjoy!
