Recipe: White Chocolate and Cranberry Scones

This recipe is a favourite with our guests at River Run Cottages Bed & Breakfast, so we serve it often. It's also a favourite of ours. The tartness of the cranberries and the sweetness of the white chocolate create a contrast that drives the tastebuds wild!

White Chocolate and Cranberry Scones

3 cups flour
½ cup white sugar
6 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

¾ cup cold butter

1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chunks/chips
1 cup milk
1 large egg

Mix all dry ingredients in first group of ingredients. Cut in butter. Add in cranberries and white chocolate.

Add milk and beaten egg. Mix until combined, DO NOT overmix!

Divide dough in half. Pat the first half into a ¾” thick circle and cut into 6 wedges. Do same with second half.

Bake at 375ºF until golden brown (about 20-25minutes).

Cool on a baking rack.

Enjoy with fresh preserves, clotted cream ... or just by themselves!
