Make the scones
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Combine granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger and flour in a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Add butter pieces and cut in with two knives or a pastry cutter until most butter pieces are pea sized. Add pear chunks and toss to coat.
Make a well in the center and add the egg, vanilla and the heavy cream. Mix just until combined.
Dump dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick disc. Use a bench scraper or sharp knife to cut into 8 segments.
Place on parchment lined baking trays. Brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
Make the glaze
Combine powdered sugar, the warmed cream, melted butter, vanilla bean paste and grated ginger. Whisk until combined.
Spoon glaze over cooled scones and top with freeze-dried pear bits, if desired.
