Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3️⃣ Cut in the Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the butter resembles coarse crumbs.

4️⃣ Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5️⃣ Fold in the Good Stuff

Gently fold in the cranberries and white chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.

6️⃣ Shape & Cut the Scones

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles (or use a round cutter for classic scones).

7️⃣ Bake to Perfection

Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little extra heavy cream for a golden finish. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

8️⃣ Cool & Enjoy

Let the scones cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, clotted cream, or a drizzle of white chocolate!
