This recipe for Cranberry and White Chocolate Scones is super simple and delicious. Crispy on the outside yet seriously moist on the inside.
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter (one stick)
1 egg
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cranberries, roasted or Craisins®
1/3 cup chopped white baking chocolate
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup coarse sugar
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to a mixing bowl. Grate chilled butter and add it to the dry mixture. Use a fork to cut the butter into the flour. In a separate, small bowl, beat the egg and add it to the dry mixture along with the sour cream. Stir mixture until it starts to come together and then add the cranberries and white chocolate and turn out onto a well-floured surface.
Knead gently until the dough forms a ball and then pat into a 10-inch round. Cut the round into 8 wedges and place on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper about 1 1/2″ apart. Brush with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
To use fresh cranberries, roast them in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
