Apple And Pear Scones Recipe

	Krisalis903 / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago My mom found this recipe in a magazine and made me a copy of it. These scones are fantastic: buttery, moist, and flakey on the inside, light and crispy on the outside. They're not too sweet so feel free to drizzle the honey and butter on these delicious scones....
