For those celebrating Easter this weekend, I wanted to share an easy, delish recipe to add to your brunch menu. The original recipe calls for dried cranberries, but I prefer the tartness of cherries to balance the sweetness of the white chocolate. Always a hit, and slightly addicting (especially with coffee). Enjoy!
CHERRY LEMON WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES
Makes about 2 dozen small scones
- 2 cups flour (sifted)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 6 oz. white chocolate chips
- 1 package dried cherries
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup lemon yogurt
- 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
- Raw sugar
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
1) Mix first 3 ingredients well, then cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbles.
2) Add white chocolate chips and dried cherries.
3) Mix egg, lemon yogurt and vanilla well in a separate bowl, and add to dry mixture.
4) Drop onto pan in desired size (I make them about 2″ round, so about 12 on a sheet).
5) Sprinkle tops with the raw sugar.
6) Bake for 15 minutes, until tops are browned.
Have a wonderful weekend!
