Strawberry White Chocolate Scones
Grab some fresh strawberries and white chocolate chips to make the ultimate summer scone!
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup butter, chilled
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (plus extra for brushing on top)
- 1 egg
- 1.5 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 5 strawberries, washed, hulled and diced
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 425 F. Prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into 1/2" cubes and distribute over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender or two knives used scissor fashion (or just using your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture is like coarse crumbs.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the cream, egg and vanilla. Add the cream mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the diced strawberries and white chocolate chips.
-
Dust flour on the counter or a cutting board and pat the dough into a 1/2" thickness. Grab a biscuit cutter or glass and dip in flour, then cut out rounds from the dough (without twisting cutter) and place spaced out on prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the scones lightly with cream and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool scones on a wire rack.
