8tablespoonsalted butter, very cold - cut into small cubes
1 ¼cupstrawberries, cut into small pieces
⅓cupwhite chocolate chips (optional)
¾cupheavy cream
2teaspoonvanilla paste or extract
1egg
2tablespoonheavy cream - for basting
½cupwhite chocolate chips, melted for drizzle
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 ° F1. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar.2. Using a pastry cutter, or your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. We want to see small butter pieces in the dough. That will make the scones buttery/flaky.3. Add the strawberries, and ⅓ cup chocolate chips (if using) and coat with the flour/butter mixture.4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream with the egg, and the vanilla extract. Then pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a spoon until just combined.5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead lightly and form a disk about 7 inches across. Chill disk for at least 30 minutes. Cut into 8 wedges, and transfer them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. 6. Brush the top of the scones with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Bake until golden brown and baked through, about 25 to 30 minutes. Tip: Arrange the scones with space around them on the baking sheet for better browning. 7. Allow scones to cool. Melt ⅓ cup of white chocolate and drizzle over the cooled scones. Enjoy!If you loved this recipe please leave a 5- star rating and a comment on my website. That would be greatly appreciated! xo Diana
Notes
Tip: Please don't use frozen or thawed fruit for this recipe. That will make the scones soggy!Spacing: Make sure to have enough space for the scones to brown evenly on all sides! Putting them close together will result in cakey scones.Storing: Scones are best when consumed on the same day, but will still be fresh on day 2 or 3 when stored in an airtight container.
