Instructions

- Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry mix using a pastry blender or two knives until it resembles small, pea-sized crumbs.
- Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough forms.
ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:
- Pinch small handfuls of the dough together, tear, and drop in small clumps onto the pear filling.
- Bake for 45 minutes, allow to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy!
