Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh pear
1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F. Lightly spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture is crumbly and looks like small peas. Freeze 5 minutes. Add 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the whipping cream, the pear, cheese and rosemary; stir just until moistened.
  • On cookie sheet, pat dough with floured hands into 7-inch round (mixture will be crumbly). Cut round into 8 wedges, but do not separate. Brush dough with remaining 2 tablespoons whipping cream.
  • Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden. Carefully separate wedges; serve warm.
