Make the scones
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Silk, orange juice, cranberries, orange zest and canola oil.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix together with a wooden spoon, stirring with as few strokes as possible. Fold in the chopped pears.
