Made with fresh pears and spicy ginger, these scones are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.

To make these delicious scones, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup diced fresh pear
- 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Next, add the diced pear and chopped ginger to the flour mixture and stir to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg, then pour the mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick, then cut it into 8 wedges.
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm with butter and jam, if desired.
