Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tick unsalted butter Cold (refrigerated)
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Cut the butter into small cubes, add it to the dry ingredients and rub it into the flour mixture using a fork or your fingertips until it resembles bread crumbs. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the egg, yogurt and vanilla extract.
- Add the egg mixture to the flour and butter mixture. Stir using a wooden spoon until everything is just combined. Don't over mix.
- Add in the white chocolate chips and cranberries. Mix using a wooden spoon to form a dough.
- Place the dough on the baking sheet, shape the dough into a 1 1/2 inch thick disk and cut into 8 wedges. Make some space between the wedges as they tend to spread a little bit while cooking. You can also separate them completely and set them on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle some granulated sugar on the scones and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden on top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is completely chilled in the fridge before you start making the scones.
- You can add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough if desired.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Scones also stay fresh for up to 2 days at room temperature if stored in an airtight container and kept in a cool, dry place.
- Prepare the dough in advance: Make the dough and shape it into a disk. Wrap it tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To bake, slice the dough and follow the instructions.
- Freeze the dough: You can also slice the dough and place the baking sheet in the freezer for the dough pieces to freeze and get solid. Then place them in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months. To bake, place the frozen scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes until fully golden.
