Cranberry and White Chocolate Scones

Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 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)

Directions

• 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• 2 In a bowl by hand or using an electric mixer, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter.
• 3 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.
• 4 Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 2 minutes.
• 5 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).
• 6 Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil, then transfer the wedges to the sheet.
• 7 Bake the scones at 400 degrees F for 14 minutes or until golden brown.
