How to make Scones

Scones can seem intimidating to make but I promise this recipe is very forgiving. Here is how to make them:

  1. Combine your dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  2. Add VERY COLD butter cut into chunks and cut into the dry ingredients until it is a course meal. It will look similar to a crumb topping. This can be done with two forks, a pastry blender, or hands (if you work fast since you want the butter to stay as cold as possible).
  3. Once that is done, add in the nuts and chocolate chips and stir in gently.
  4. In a separate bowl, quickly whisk together the egg, milk and vanilla. Then, pour into dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
  5. Now, for the fun part! Flour the counter or a piece of parchment with a good amount of flour. Dump out the dough and add a little flour at a time until the dough isn’t super sticky.
  6. Shape into a circle about 1″ thick.
  7. Cut into 8 scones and move onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with milk and bake at 375 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Can I freeze White Chocolate Macadamia Scones?

Yes! You actually have two options here. You can freeze them after they are cut into triangles (before brushing with milk) or after they are baked. The best results would be to freeze them before baking so that they are super fresh when you serve them.

To freeze them, lay out on a baking sheet and let freeze solid before placing in a freezer zip lock bag. Then, when you are ready to bake, bake them right from the freezer. Brush with milk and put in the oven. The baking time will be a little but longer but other than that it is the same process.

  3. Add very cold butter cut into chunks into dry ingredients. Cut into the dry ingredients until it is a course meal. It will look similar to a crumb topping. This can be done with two forks, a pastry blender, or hands (if you work fast since you want the butter to stay as cold as possible).

Notes

Be sure to use very cold butter or the consistency of the scones will not be flaky.
