Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a large bowl.
- Add in butter, toss to coat, and rub in with your fingers (or a pastry cutter, if you prefer) until only pea-sized chunks remain.
- Stir in cranberries and chocolate chips(or other mix-ins), then add the cream and buttermilk, mixing only until the ingredients just come together into a ball. It is ok if there is a little flour left at the bottom of the bowl.
- Divide dough into 12 balls (about 2-in in diameter) Sprinkle the top of each with coarse sugar and a tiny pinch of kosher salt before placing on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack.
I’m a bit of a scone fanatic. I just love how they're so crumbly and soft at the same time, and the buttery flavor is just divine. They're also incredibly easy to make, so they're perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or snack.
This recipe for scones is one of my favorites. It uses a combination of heavy cream and buttermilk to create a scone that is both rich and moist. I also like to add in some dried cranberries and chocolate chips for a little extra sweetness and crunch. The result is a scone that is so good, you'll feel like you're eating a taste of paradise. So what are you waiting for? Give these scones a try today!
