Cranberry White Chocolate Scones image

A very tasty scone recipe that takes no time at all. Though the recipe calls for dried cranberries, I usually use a mix of dried cherries and berries for variety and often use more than the 1/2 cup called for. I also sprinkle turbinado sugar on the top for a bit of crunch. I specify cutting this in sixths, which makes a good size scone, but if you want smaller ones, try eighths and cut down on baking time.

Time 22m

Yield 6 scones, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, chilled
1 egg
1/3 cup buttermilk or 1/3 cup soured milk
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix together dry ingredients.
  • Cut butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two knives until coarse crumbs are formed.
  • Stir in cranberries and chips.
  • Whisk together egg and milk.
  • Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the liquid mixture. Stir together until moistened.
  • Dust bread board or counter top with flour and turn the dough out.
  • Fold the dough until it forms a large lump of dough.
  • Pat the dough into a disk about 8 to 10 inches in diameter. Cut into 6 wedges (I use a pizza cutter) and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving them a little room to spread ( I use parchment paper).
  • Bake for 11 - 12 minutes or until they are golden. Place on a wire rack to cool.
