Directions

  • 1.

    Preheat oven to 400° F.

  • 2.

    Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • 3.

Ginger Pear Scones is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good. Next time I will double the ginger and grate it instead of chop. I also made a glaze of powdered sugar free sweetener. I also made eight pieces as I didn't see the note for six on the recipe I printed. Thanks!
