Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold - cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Next, add the butter and using a pastry blender mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. After that, fold in the white chocolate chips.
  6. In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream, egg, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until it starts to clump together.
  7. Gently, using a rubber spatula, fold in the strawberries.
  8. Next, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently work it to create a round, flat disc about 7 inches in diameter and approximately 1 inch thick, use extra flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  9. Slice the disc into 8 wedges and carefully move the pieces to the prepared baking sheet with a pie server.
  10. Lightly brush the top of the scones with heavy cream. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  11. Bake at 400˚F for 15 minutes or until golden brown on edges/bottom.
  12. Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet before adding the topping.
  13. Melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave for 15-second intervals, stirring in between.
  14. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled scones. Allow chocolate to harden before serving.
