CRANBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees In a large bowl, stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter in 1/2 inch cubes and distribute them over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender or two knives scissor fashion, (I just use regular scissors or a fork and it works fine), cut the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, stir together the cream, egg, and vanilla. Add the cream mixture to the flour mixture and knead until combined. Knead in the white chocolate, walnuts, and cranberries. With lightly floured hands, pat the dough out into a 9-inch diameter circle. There are a couple of options for the next step... A. if you want small scones (which is the ONLY way I make them), you can use a small biscuit cutter or a 1/8 measuring cup or...B. you can cut the 9-inch diameter circle into 8 wedges for larger scones. I prefer the small ones... Small scones-bake about 11 min, let cool on wire rack Large scones-bake about 15-18 min, let cool on wire rack Frosting: In the top of a double boiler over hot, not simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring constantly. Stir in cream cheese until combined. Add brandy and vanilla and stir until smooth. (Keep stirring, I promise it will come together) Remove from heat and cool slightly. Stir in the sour cream. Scrape mixture into a bowl and cover and refrigerate until slightly firm. Let stand at room temp. for 10 min or more to soften and serve. I have made these too many times to count and have shared this recipe endless times with people that have continued to share it. They are really delicious and you can make them with a variety of ingredients. They are perfect for holiday parties, baby showers, entertaining, or just a sweet treat! I have also make them with blueberries and apricots. Thank you Darb for the recipe as it had turned into a staple in our house!
