  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 wedges using a sharp knife.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
