WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY SCONES

Inspired by a brunch I had with my sister and her lovely friends!



WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY SCONES

1 C sour cream
1 tsp baking soda
1 C butter (room temp.)
1 C sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
4 C flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp salt

"Mix-Ins"
2/3 C chopped white chocolate
3/4 C dried cranberries

In a small bowl, blend the sour cream and baking SODA, set aside. In a separate bowl, mix butter and sugar. Beat the egg with the vanilla and add to the butter mixture. Combine dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Then add the sour cream mixture, being careful not to over-mix. Fold in "mix-in" ingredients. Shape with a cookie scoop and pat flat. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve with jam and whipping cream.

{BAKERS NOTES: unsalted butter = cake like scone, salted butter = crumbly scone
You can add any "mix-ins" that you prefer, ex. blueberries, orange zest and cranberries, even bacon for a breakfast one!}
