White Chocolate Pecan Scones image

This is a recipe that I played with for awhile. I lowered the salt for myself so you might want a bit more. The pecans are nicer if you toast them in the heated oven for a few mins before useing them but it's not required.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 ounces white chocolate (good quality, such as Lindt, cut into chunks)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
