The Perfect Holiday Scone Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using your hands, shape the dough into a ball and place it onto a floured surface.
Flatten the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the scones to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips and Variations:
If you prefer a more traditional scone, you can omit the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips and add in 1/2 cup of raisins instead.
For an extra boost of flavor, you can add a teaspoon of orange zest to the dough.
If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use a fork or your fingers to work the butter into the flour.
These scones can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
In conclusion, these holiday scones are the perfect addition to your holiday menu. They are easy to make, bursting with festive flavors, and sure to impress your family and friends. So why not give this recipe a try and add a touch of sweetness to your holiday season? Your taste buds will thank you.
