Ingredients

2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
5 tbsp Sugar
Zest of one Lemon
12 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
½ cup Heavy Cream
½ cup Greek Yogurt plain or Vanilla
½ cup Salted Pistachio‘s
½ cup Dried Cranberries
½ cup White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a food processor add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lemon zest, pulse to blend.
Add the cubes of butter and pulse until the butter has been cut into the mixture, it should like coarse grains of sand.
In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, cream, and vanilla until combined.
Add to the flour mixture and mix with a spoon until the mixture just starts to come together. Do not overmix.
Add the cranberries, white chocolate chips and pistachio’s and gently fold together, Mix just enough to incorporate.
Form the mixture into a ball and place on the parchment paper.
Use your hands to form the dough into a large circle and flatten about one inch thick.
Cut the scones into 8 pieces and separate on your baking sheet*
Brush the finished scones with a little cream or milk to get good color as they bake
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a deep golden brown in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

* by separating the scones into individual portions you get more crunchy exterior, which is the best part of the scone.
