Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ cup shortening
½ white chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup blueberries
½ teaspoon grated orange zest
½ cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place 2 cups flour, baking powder, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor or blender; pulse a few times to combine. Add shortening; pulse until mixture has the consistency of fine crumbs.
  • Place flour mixture in a bowl; stir in white chocolate, blueberries, and orange zest. Stir milk into flour mixture gradually to form a smooth batter. Turn mixture out onto a floured board; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup flour. Knead a few times to incorporate flour and form a smooth dough.
  • Roll dough out 1/2-inch thick; cut scones with a biscuit cutter to desired size. Place scones on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes.
