Recipe Instructions

Prepare 3 medium sized pears, pared and sliced. Place in a 10 x 6 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup brown sugar. (Or substitute 3 cups canned sliced pears. Decrease brown sugar to 2 tablespoons). Combine 1/2 cup mincemeat, lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Set aside. Sift together 1 cup sifted flour, baking powder, and salt into mixing bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter until particles are fine.

Combine 1 egg and milk to measure 1/3 cup. Add with 1/3 cup prepared mincemeat to dry ingredients. Stir until dough clings together. Drop by level tablespoonfuls into mixture of 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped.

Place biscuits over pears. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon butter, melted. Bake in moderate oven (375F) 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm with Honey Spice Whipped Cream. *for use with Pillsbury's Best Self-Rising Flour, omit baking powder and salt.

Honey Spice Whipped Cream: Beat whipping cream until thickened. Add honey and cinnamon. Continue beating until thick.
