Preparation

Step 1

In large bowl, gently toss pears with brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and nutmeg. Scrape into 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish.

Biscuit Topping: In bowl, whisk together flour; sugar; baking powder; baking soda and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until crumbly.

Biscuit Flavouring: In measuring cup, stir lemon rind into buttermilk; drizzle over flour mixture, stirring with fork to form soft, sticky dough. With spoon, drop dough in 9 evenly spaced mounds over fruit.

Bake in 400°F oven for about 35 minutes or until bubbly and topping is light golden and no longer doughy underneath when lifted with spoon.
