Holiday White Chocolate Cranberry Scones

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons butter

  diced
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup half-and-half cream

  plus more for brushing
• 1 egg

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2 In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in
  butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold the cranberries and white
  chocolate chips into the dry ingredients. Then make a well in the center.
• 3 In a small bowl, beat together the cream and the egg. Pour the cream and egg
  mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold together just to incorporate; do not
  overwork the dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly 4 or 5
  times. Form an 8-inch circle and cut into 12 wedges. Brush scones with reserved
  cream and place, at least 1 inch apart, onto the baking sheet.
• 4 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool
  completely before glazing.
