Valentine scones with cranberry, raspberry and white chocolate

As more easy sweet treat (compared to Valentine Ice with cherry) for your Valentine you could bake these scones with cranberry, raspberry and white chocolate. As extra touch you can use a cutter in heart shape.

I have been using this recipe on cranberry - orange scones as starting point, while creating these Valentine scones. As a more indulgent Valentine Scone you could also try out these Valentine romance scones.

Valentine scones with cranberry, raspberry and white chocolate: 10-14 scones

• 350 g wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 85 g sugar
• 85 g butter - diced into small pieces
• 30 dried cranberries - either whole or chopped
• 30 g white chocolate - medium chopped
• 2 tablespoons of dried raspberry
• 175 g plain yogurt - yogurt without addition of neither sugar or fruit
• egg wash

1. Heat the oven to 200'C.
2. Cover a baking tray with baking parchment. 
3. Mix the cranberries, raspberry and white chocolate together in a small mixing bowl.
4. Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar together in a mixing bowl.
5. Add in the butter pieces, rub in the butter using only your fingers, until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
6. Add in the cranberries, raspberry and white chocolate.
7. Make a hole in the mixture, where the yogurt is pour into. Knead the scone dough together, until it is soft.
8. Roll out the scone dough in a thickness of 2 cm.
9. Cut out the scones from the dough using a cutter. Do not twist the cutter, while doing this.
10. Turn the scone up side down, when it is placed on the baking tray.
11. Let the scones raise for 15-30 minutes prior to baking.
12. Before making, brush the the top of the scones with egg wash (only the top, as this affect the raising of the scone during baking).
