Time 30m

Yield 8-16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 tablespoons half-and-half
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries or 1/2 cup dried cranberries (craisins)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or pieces)

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.
