Cranberry And White Chocolate Scones Recipes

CRANBERRY-WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter by repeatedly pushing down through the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (rotate the pastry blender and bowl to cut in uniformly). Use the back of a spoon to make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine eggs, the 3/4 cup cream, the cranberries, chopped white chocolate, and, if desired, orange peel. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing for 10 to 12 strokes or just until dough comes together (to ensure tender scones, be careful not to knead too much). Divide dough in half. Pat or lightly roll each half into a 6-inch circle. Cut each circle into six wedges.
• Place wedges 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush wedges with additional whipping cream. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly on baking sheet. Drizzle with Orange Drizzle. Serve warm or at room temperature. Orange Drizzle
• In a small bowl combine powdered sugar,1 tablespoon of the orange juice, and vanilla. Stir in additional orange juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, to reach a drizzling consistency.

CHOCOLATE CHIP-CRANBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk yogurt and egg yolk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Stir in cranberries and chocolate chips., Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 10 times. Pat dough into an 8-in. circle. Cut into 12 wedges. Place wedges on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze cooled scones in resealable plastic freezer bags. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each scone on high for 20-30 seconds or until heated through.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in baking chips, cranberries and orange peel. In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup whipping cream and the egg until blended. Stir into crumb mixture until dough forms.
• On lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 3 or 4 times. Pat or roll dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut with floured 2-inch round cutter. Onto ungreased cookie sheet, place rounds 1 inch apart. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon whipping cream; sprinkle with coarse sugar.
