Masala Chai is one of the key ingredient of Masala Chai Pear Scones recipe.

Even I can’t imagine my morning without a cup of Masala Chai. The Masala Chai aroma is enough to make your mind fresh every morning.

Actually, last weekend I bought pears as usual for my kids but this time they did not finish and it was just laying into my freeze. So this morning while drinking a tea, I was thinking about pears and suddenly an idea popped-up to make Pear Scones. Although coffee is an obvious choice to pair with scones, I turned it down to Masala Chai and here is the amazing result.

6. Now mix it well using your hands and make crumbly mixture. Add chopped pear, yogurt and vanilla extract and then fold it using spatula. Add 1-2 tbsp water and make dough.
7. Dust the flour on working place or kitchen counter. Remove the prepared dough on it.
8. Sprinkle some flour over it and then gently pat the dough using your hand and make thick round about 1 inch thick.
9. Take a sharp knife or scraper and cut it into tringles or squares or as per your choice.
10. Take a baking sheet and line with parchment paper or brush the sheet with oil, place the prepared tringles over it. Brush the top with butter milk.
11. Now time to bake, place the baking tray into the preheated oven and bake it around 25-30 minutes till golden brown.
12. Remove it from the oven and let it cool down. Masala Chai Pear Scones are ready to serve. You can serve it fresh with a cup of tea or with cool whip and enjoy.
