Ingredients
Dough
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, cold
- 2 ½ cups (313 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 ounces good quality white chocolate, roughly chopped
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (144 g) frozen blackberries
Topping
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Set out a sheet of parchment paper. Using the fine edge of a grater, grate butter onto the parchment paper. Place it in the freezer while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Remove grated butter from the freezer. Using a fork, incorporate it into the dry ingredients.
- Add in the chopped white chocolate.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently mix in the frozen blackberries, folding the dough 3-4 times. There will be some bleeding into the dough and that is okay!
- On the lined baking sheet, shape the dough into a circle, about ¾-inch thick. Add a bit of flour to your hands to prevent sticking.
- Using a bench scraper or large knife, cut the dough into 6-8 wedges (I cut them into 8), gently separating the edges of each scone, creating a ½-inch space between each.
- Brush scones with heavy whipping cream, making sure to cover all exposed edges. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the scones for 18-23 minutes, or until golden brown.
