White Chocolate Scones

These are sweet scones and i just adore them with the raspberry jam and whipped cream. A decadent treat!!

Lightly grease a baking pan and preheat oven to 400.

In a large bowl , combine the dry ingredients.

Cut the butter into small pieces and incorporate into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter , or a fork , until evenly incorporated.

In a separate bowl , beat the egg and buttermilk together and stir lightly into the flour mixture.

Mix in the chips.

Knead dough together , just until mixed.

This is a fairly wet dough-do not add too much flour or handle too much or the scones will get tough.

On a lightly floured surface , pat or roll the dough out to about 1-inch thick.

Cut with a round 2-inch floured cookie cutter.

Place on a baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes , or until scones are a light golden brown.

Serve with jam and whipped cream.
