Müslix* Almond Raisin Scones with Honey Pear Butter

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) Müslix* Almond Raisin cereal
  • 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) 10% half and half cream (approx.)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
  • Honey Pear Butter:
  • 3 ripe pears (such as Bartlett), peeled, cored and chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) honey
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon

Directions

Honey Pear Butter:

1. In saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring pears, honey, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes or until reduced and thickened. Mash until smooth or purée in food processor. Let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container in fridge for 3 to 5 days.)

2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Set aside 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the cereal. Stir together flour, remaining cereal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Whisk together milk, cream, egg and vanilla. Pour into flour mixture; stir with fork to make a ragged dough. Transfer dough to lightly floured surface; press into 7-inch (18 cm) round. Cut into 8 triangles; place triangles, about 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined baking sheet.

4. Brush tops with additional cream; sprinkle with reserved cereal. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm scones with Honey Pear Butter.
