Cranberry White Chocolate Scones

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry White Chocolate Scones.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper—this will help your scones bake evenly and make cleanup a breeze.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, whisking them together until they’re well blended.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers; you want the mixture to resemble coarse crumbs, which adds a delightful texture to your scones.

4. Step 4

   Now, gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture for bursts of flavor in every bite.

5. Step 5

   It’s time to bring it all together—add the buttermilk and egg to the bowl, stirring just until everything is combined and a shaggy dough forms.

6. Step 6

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough slightly and cut it into 12 triangles, shaping them with care.

7. Step 7

   Place these lovely scones on your prepared baking tray, and for that extra touch of indulgence, brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top for a delightful crunch.

8. Step 8

   Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.

9. Step 9

   As they bake, your kitchen will fill with an irresistible aroma that will have everyone eagerly awaiting the first bite! Enjoy your freshly baked scones with a cup of tea or coffee for a perfect treat.
