White Chocolate Craisin Scones Recipes

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.

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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine all dry ingredients, except sanding sugar, with the cherries (or other dried fruit) in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
• Add butter, and mix on medium-low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Add white chocolate chips. Add buttermilk and mix until just combined.
• Turn out the mixtures onto a clean work surface. With hands, pat mixture into two 16" x 4" rectangles that are 1/2 inches high. Score rectangle into 16 triangles.
• Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• Heat oven to 350°.
• Remove dough from the freezer and cut into triangles with a sharp knife.
• Place scones two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush scones with heavy cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
• Freezing the dough at least two hours keeps scones from spreading too much. Frozen dough will keep for up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix together dry ingredients.
• Cut butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two knives until coarse crumbs are formed.
• Stir in cranberries and chips.
• Whisk together egg and milk.
• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the liquid mixture. Stir together until moistened.
• Dust bread board or counter top with flour and turn the dough out.
• Fold the dough until it forms a large lump of dough.
• Pat the dough into a disk about 8 to 10 inches in diameter. Cut into 6 wedges (I use a pizza cutter) and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving them a little room to spread ( I use parchment paper).
• Bake for 11 - 12 minutes or until they are golden. Place on a wire rack to cool.
