Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup melted butter, cooled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together milk, beaten egg, butter, and lemon zest.
  • Mix pears and nuts into flour mixture. Gently stir milk mixture into dry ingredients. The batter should be lumpy, not smooth. Do not over mix.
