White Chocolate and Lemon Peel Scones & Dark Matcha Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg. Pour the mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Divide the dough in half. To one half, add the white chocolate chips and lemon zest. Mix until evenly distributed.
-
To the other half, add the matcha powder and dark chocolate chips. Mix until evenly distributed.
-
On a lightly floured surface, pat each dough into a circle about 1-inch (5 cm) thick. Cut each circle into 4 wedges.
-
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
