WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a baking pan and preheat oven to 400°.
• In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and incorporate into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter, or a fork, until evenly incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg and buttermilk together and stir lightly into the flour mixture.
• Mix in the chips.
• Knead dough together, just until mixed.
• This is a fairly wet dough-do not add too much flour or handle too much or the scones will get tough.
• On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough out to about 1-inch thick.
• Cut with a round 2-inch floured cookie cutter.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes, or until scones are a light golden brown.
• Serve with jam and whipped cream.

RASPBERRY-WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Place fresh raspberries about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 4 hours, then turn oven off, leaving the berries inside for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Roughly chop dried raspberries into smaller pieces and measure out ½ cup for this recipe. Reserve any extra for another use.
• Grate white chocolate on the fine side of a grater until you have ½ cup.
• Whisk 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Grate cold butter into the flour mixture, tossing every so often to coat it with flour so it doesn't start to clump. When all butter has been added, work it into the flour with a pastry blender. Add grated white chocolate and toss with a fork to incorporate.
• Whisk ¾ cup milk and sour cream together in a liquid measure, then pour that into the flour mixture. Mix with a fork until everything just barely comes together to form a shaggy dough.
• Transfer dough to a generously floured work surface and without kneading, push and pack it together with your hands until it holds its shape, adding a little flour if it's too sticky. Press dough into a rectangle, about ¾-inch thick, and roughly twice as long as it is wide.
• Sprinkle dried raspberries evenly over the dough. Spread berries out almost to the edges and press them into the dough gently. Using a bench scraper, lift one third of the dough from one of the shorter edges and fold it in over the center third; press it down and square off the edges. Repeat with the other side so your scone dough is three layers thick.
• Cut the rectangle in half with the bench scraper, then cut each half into 2 triangles. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together. Brush egg wash over each scone and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.
• Quickly and carefully transfer to a rack and let cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE-CRANBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in white chocolate chips and cranberries. Mix in buttermilk and egg until just combined and dough forms a shaggy ball.
• Roll out slightly and cut into 12 triangles. Place on the prepared baking tray. Brush each scone with a little cream and sprinkle with some coarse sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until barely golden around the edges, about 15 minutes.

CRAISIN CRANBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• 1) Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2) In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in craisins and white chocolate chips.
• 3) In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
• 4) Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.).
• 5) Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoons of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

CRANBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

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.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CRAISIN SCONES

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter then add the wet ingredients, chocolate chips and craisins. Mix just until blended.
• Flour counter. Knead & pat into 1/2 inch thick circle. Cut like a pizza.
• Place on lightly butter cookie sheet leaving space between. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees or until golden brown. Makes about 8 scones.
