Cranberry White Chocolate Scones

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup good quality white whole wheat flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into little pieces
  • 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen … or you can substitute mulberries, raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries – I would double the berries if using a sweeter berry)
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt (or plain yogurt)
  • 1 t. vanilla extract
  • about 1/2 c. white chocolate chips (or more to taste)
  • For the top: about 2 tablespoons coarse turbinado (raw) sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a bowl combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar.
  3. Add the little pieces of butter and work it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the butter chunks are all broken down and the mixture resembles a coarse meal. (I start with the pastry cutter, then I use my fingers–it’s messy, but fun!)
  4. Stir the berries gently into the flour mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl combine egg and yogurt and mix until blended.
  6. Stir the egg/yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just blended (dough will be soft and wet).
  7. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly 3-4 times. Pat or roll the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut it into wedges and place on the baking sheet. Sprinkle scones lightly with the coarse sugar.
  8. Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
