These Spiced Pear Butter Swim Biscuits are pure fall comfort! Tender, buttery biscuits bake around juicy spiced pears, then get finished with a sweet maple glaze. Perfect for cozy breakfasts, brunch, afternoon coffee, or weekend baking.
Prepare / line a 9-inch | 22 cm round baking pan like you would usually do and set aside.
Preheat oven to 425℉/220℃.
SPICED PEAR PREPARATION
In a frying pan, on medium low heat, melt the butter.Then, add the diced pears (no need to peel), the light brown sugar, vanilla bean paste and chai spice (Homemade Recipe).Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pears are starting to soften but are still holding their shape, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool down while preparaing the dough.
Once your oven is preheated, place butter directly in your prepared baking pan and let it melt in the oven while preparing your biscuit dough.
4 oz butter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (All-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnanom, and sea salt). Make a well and add the buttermilk and vanilla bean paste.Gently stir together until almost combined.
Carefully take the pan out of the oven and scoop your biscuit dough on top of the melted butter by spreading it into the edges as best as you can. Use your spatula to cut the dough into 8 triangles. NOTE:This will allow the melted butter to run through where your spatula went. Place thin slices of pears on top of the triangles Re-run your spatula over the dough and place the rest of the sliced pears in the dents.

BAKE!
Bake for 30 minutes at 425℉/220℃. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your biscuits from 25 minutes). It is ready when the biscuits are golden brown and crispy, and the edges are bubbling with butter.Once your Spiced Pear Butter Swim Biscuits are out of the oven, let it cool down in the baking pan for about 5 minutes. I like mine still warm with maple glaze on top!
