CRANBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a bowl by hand or using an electric mixer, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter.
• Add the half and half, beaten egg, cranberries (I like the dried ones), and the white chocolate chips, and stir until the dough holds together.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 2 minutes.
• Form into a 1/2-inch thick round, then cut the round into 8 wedges (you can also make two smaller rounds of smaller wedges, if you like).
• Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil, then transfer the wedges to the sheet.
• Bake the scones at 400 degrees F for 14 minutes or until golden brown.

RASPBERRY & WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, then rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips, until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. You can also gradually pulse it in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gently fold in 75g of the white chocolate.
• Gradually stir the milk into the flour mixture, and use your hands to bring it together until you have a smooth dough. You may need to add an extra 15-20ml milk until you have a soft dough. Gently stir in the raspberries. Working quickly so the raspberries don't completely melt, lightly dust a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking parchment and the top of the dough with flour. Gently roll out the dough to a 2cm-thick circle (ours was 22cm). Cut into 8-10 triangles, like a pizza, spreading them all out so they're about 5cm apart but still in a circle.
• Bake for 18-20 mins until golden brown. Set aside to cool. Melt the remaining white chocolate either in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, or in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the scones before serving.

RASPBERRY-WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Place fresh raspberries about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 4 hours, then turn oven off, leaving the berries inside for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Roughly chop dried raspberries into smaller pieces and measure out ½ cup for this recipe. Reserve any extra for another use.
• Grate white chocolate on the fine side of a grater until you have ½ cup.
• Whisk 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Grate cold butter into the flour mixture, tossing every so often to coat it with flour so it doesn't start to clump. When all butter has been added, work it into the flour with a pastry blender. Add grated white chocolate and toss with a fork to incorporate.
• Whisk ¾ cup milk and sour cream together in a liquid measure, then pour that into the flour mixture. Mix with a fork until everything just barely comes together to form a shaggy dough.
• Transfer dough to a generously floured work surface and without kneading, push and pack it together with your hands until it holds its shape, adding a little flour if it's too sticky. Press dough into a rectangle, about ¾-inch thick, and roughly twice as long as it is wide.
• Sprinkle dried raspberries evenly over the dough. Spread berries out almost to the edges and press them into the dough gently. Using a bench scraper, lift one third of the dough from one of the shorter edges and fold it in over the center third; press it down and square off the edges. Repeat with the other side so your scone dough is three layers thick.
• Cut the rectangle in half with the bench scraper, then cut each half into 2 triangles. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together. Brush egg wash over each scone and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.
• Quickly and carefully transfer to a rack and let cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.

RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• 1. In large bowl, place beaten eggs,milk and sugar. Whisk till blended. Add bisquick and stir with spoon. It will be dry, DON'T add any liquid to it! Add 1 Cup Raspberries and 1/2 cup morsels. With hands, mix altogether. Put about a 1/3 cup in each scone pan well or I use a square miffin pan. Again, 1/3 cup approximately makes a nice sized scone. Bake 400 degrees for 12 minutes. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
• 2. Note: You can use any fresh or frozen fruit you wish and with any morsels. How about diced peaches and butterscotch morsels?!? You can add nuts or raisins as well. When adding blueberries, measure them out frozen but let them thaw a little, same with peaches. If you use want to add pieces of cream cheese in the scones, add 1 T sugar to your fruit before putting in the batter. The cream cheese tends to bring the sweetness down a notch. So this will counteract that. Then push little bits of cream cheese in each scone before baking. Be creative.
