Pear Scones

As many know I am a huge fan of eating. However, in my time at home I have become obsessed with a specific type of food, Scones! The come in so many shapes and sizes. They can be flat and triangular or big and puffy. There are so many ways that they can be made.

Today I want to share my newest scone type, Pear Scones. They are full of cinnamon and butter. When they are eaten they crunch yet they also melt. I am actually in love with them. So I dare you to try these bad boys at home and let me know in the comments what you think!

Love Winter and Mark
