Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Gently stir until the dough just comes together.
5. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries, being careful not to overmix.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together.
7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
10. Serve warm and enjoy these heavenly Melt-in-Your-Mouth Scones!
