Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup White chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Coarse sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just starts to come together. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a disc about 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 wedges (like a pizza).
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown on the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
