1/4 c Unsalted butter, chilled
1/2 c Heavy (whipping) cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the flour,
sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into 1/2 inch cubes and
distribute them over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender or two knives
used scissors fashion, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse

cream mixture to the flour mixture and knead until combined. Knead in the
white chocolate.

With lightly floured hands, pat the dough out on a floured work surface to

Gather the scraps of dough together and repeat till all the dough is used.

lightly browned on top. Place baking sheet on wire rack for 5 minutes, then
transfer scones to wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cool completely and
store in an airtight container. Makes 8 or 9 scones.
