My friend Abby tweaked a recipe she had found on allrecipes to make these delicious scones...they are sooo good!

Provided by Baking Bunny

Categories     Scones

Time 32m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen
1/2 cup craisins
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: As with any baking recipe, it's important to measure and prepare all your ingredients before you begin mixing. This will help ensure that you don't miss anything and that your scones turn out perfectly.
  • Use Cold Butter: Cold butter is essential for creating flaky scones. When the butter is cold, it will distribute evenly throughout the dough and create pockets of steam as it bakes, resulting in a light and airy texture.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop. If you need to add more liquid, do so a little at a time until the dough comes together.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven. This will also help to develop the flavor of the scones.
  • Bake the Scones at a High Temperature: A high oven temperature will help the scones to rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.
  • Don't Overbake the Scones: Overbaked scones will be dry and crumbly. Bake the scones just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Serve the Scones Warm: Scones are best served warm, when they're fresh out of the oven. You can also reheat them in a warm oven or toaster oven.

Conclusion:

Craisin, cranberry, and white chocolate scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your scones turn out perfectly every time.
