I agree with some other reviewers that these aren't traditional scones, but they're quick and delicious. The only change I made was to use whole milk instead of cream.

great recipe...but i wanted to try a different spice combo so i substituted 1/4 tsp cardamom and 1/4 tsp of ginger and just put in a pinch of cinnamon...and they had great flavor

We made these scones while in Paris this spring. The pears were wonderful and we found these simple scones were a great traveling snack.

I'm going to have to disagree on this one. The dough was far too wet and the scones spread too much. The pear flavor was barely noticeable. They tasted OK to me, but not much like a scone at all. I'll stick with my traditional recipe and experiment with adding pears.

These scones were very good. Just enough sweetness and the pears are flavorful. I peeled and chopped 3 pears to yield the 1 cup called for in the recipe.

They don't really look like proper scones, by proper I suppopse I mean store bought, but they sure taste good & the look of them just adds to their homemade charm.

We just finish baking the scones and they are wonderful...light, not really, really sweet but still have a hint of sweetmess...we even sifted the brown sugar with the other dry ingredients.. never did that before, but make sure u do..the texture is wonderful. We are going to serve it with pear butter for breakfast on Christmas Eve morning... thanks for sharing the recipe !

I didn't measure the pears just used the last 3 that were in my fruit bowl. I can't get half and half in the UK so I usually use light cream. I wasn't paying attention when I took the container out of the fridge and had already mixed it in to the dough, when I realised I'd used plain yogurt instead. I went with it anyway and they still turned out well. Absolutely delicious still warm and covered in honey. Many Thanks for something a little bit different.
