Equipment

  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter frozen and grated
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs divided (1 for the dough and 1 for the egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add grated butter and mix together with your hands until flour mixture is crumbly taking care not to overwork the dough. Stir in cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together buttermilk, sugar, egg and vanilla. Pour this into the larger bowl with the flour mixture and stir together until everything is combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a silicon baking mat or parchment paper and using floured hands (the dough will be sticky) shape the dough into an 8 inch circle. Using a bench scraper or knife coated in cooking spray or oil cut the dough into 8 wedges. Separate the wedges slightly and brush the tops of the scones with egg wash made by whisking together 1 large egg with 1 tbsp of water.
  • Transfer the baking mat or parchment paper to a baking sheet and bake the scones for 22-24 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for several minutes.
  • While the scones are cooling prepare the glaze. In a small bowl stir together powdered sugar and milk until fully combined. Drizzle over the scones and serve as desired.
