Delicious savoury breakfast buns that can be made in the morning and just popped into the oven for 20 minutes. Not only are these great for breakfast or brunch, but they make a great accompaniment to go with soup and stews, or with salads; as well as being a nice change for the lunch box or a picnic.

375g SR flour
150g chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 large pears (peeled, cored and cut into small chunks)
2 large eggs, beaten
125ml rapeseed oil (or sunflower oil)
