Ingredients
- 8 oz pear 230g, approx 1 large pear, peeled & cored weight
- 6 oz fresh figs 175g
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour 100g plain flour
- ½ cup wholewheat flour 62g wholemeal flour
- ½ cup hazelnut flour 50g ground hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoon butter 85g
- ¼ cup buttermilk 4tbsp
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Peel and core the pear and remove the tough stems from the figs. Dice both into bite-size pieces (the figs will be in around 8ths, depending on size).
- Toss the pear and fig pieces in the balsamic vinegar and roast for 20min at 375F/190C.
- Remove from oven, toss the pieces of fruit in the juices that have formed so they take on the flavor/stickiness, and allow them to cool while you prepare dough - they can also be roasted ahead of time and used cold.
- Mix the dry ingredients - the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon - then rub in the butter to form breadcrumbs. Add the buttermilk and vanilla, mix lightly, then the fruit and mix gently until combined.
- Tip the mixture onto a well-floured surface, flatten and shape into a circle or rectangle and cut into triangles or squares/rectangles.
- Carefully transfer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375F/190C for 18-20mins until they are lightly golden. Remove to a cooling rack.
