A treat that hits home when fall's in the air: Stir Bosc slices and butter in a skillet until caramelized, stack with whipped cream between fluffy biscuit halves.

Ingredients

1 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. cake flour (not self-rising)
3 tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
9 tbsp. margarine or butter
.67 c. milk
2 1/2 lb. ripe Bosc pears
1/4 c. packed light brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 strips lemon peel
1 c. heavy or whipping cream

Instructions

Prepare biscuits: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. With pastry blender or two knives used scissor-fashion, cut in 5 tablespoons cold margarine or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk; quickly stir just until mixture forms a soft dough that comes together (dough will be sticky).
Turn dough onto floured surface; gently knead 6 to 8 strokes to mix thoroughly. With floured hands, pat dough 1 inch thick.
With floured 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as possible. With pancake turner, place biscuits, 1 inch apart, on ungreased cookie sheet. Press trimmings together; cut as above to make 6 biscuits in all. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden.
Meanwhile, prepare pears: In nonstick 12-inch skillet, melt remaining 4 tablespoons margarine or butter over medium-high heat. Add pears and cook, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes until pears are brown and tender, stirring carefully with rubber spatula. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon-peel strips, and 1/4 cup water; cook 1 minute. Discard lemon peel.
To serve, with fork, split each warm biscuit horizontally in half. Spoon pear mixture onto bottom halves of biscuits; top with whipped cream, then biscuit tops. Makes 6 servings.
