Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.3333 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup white chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup pecans, chopped and lightly toasted
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just starts to come together.

Step 6

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disc about 1 inch thick and 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, like a pizza.

Step 9

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!
