Pineapple White Chocolate Scones

I don’t know about you, but whenever I stop at Starbucks besides the Skinny Latte Mocha, my next favorite item is one of their Scones. It was always heart-breaking to find out that- they were hard, dry and not very appealing, not what I expect in a scone. The worst part about it is that they are $ 3 per scone? Yes, $ 3 a scone. I got tired of throwing my money in the trash because  I could never finish it.

 So, out of the blue, I decided to try making these at home. Oh my! They are far better than what I was throwing away my money on. Homemade scones are awesome! Buttery, Crumby, Soft, with a light sweetness. I am amazed at how easy they are to make….

I have made it using a variety of ingredients and each time it turns out great! One batch is never enough. I sometimes triple the batch and freeze it so I can have them when the craving kicks in (almost every other day) – something fresh from the oven without laboring  in the kitchen.

Pineapple White Chocolate Scones

These scones are made with the combination of white chocolate and chunks of dried pineapple which adds a touch of the exotic, to the scones.

I am one of white chocolate’s biggest fan, so whenever the opportunity presents itself … I make much of it. If you love scones you will not be disappointed with these results!

Servings 8 scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (256 grams) all -purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (67 grams) sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon (4.5 grams) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 grams) baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon teaspoon salt
  • 10 tablespoons (5 ounce , 150 grams) butter
  • 1/2 cup (120 grams) buttermilk or milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 - 1 Tablespoon grated lime
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup dried fruit pineapple, raisins, cranberry
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  • In a medium bowl, whisk or sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt
  • Work in the butter just until the mixture is unevenly crumbly; it's OK for some larger chunks of butter to remain unincorporated. Stir in the chocolate and pineapple
  • Whisk together eggs, vanilla, buttermilk and grated limes
  • Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together (like a ball)
  • Put dough on floured surface, and pat (gently!) with your hands only, until dough is about 1/2” thick. Fold dough over on itself about 5 times, then gently press down until about 1 inch thick
  • Use a large knife to slice the dough into 4 equal portions. Cut diagonally to produce 8 triangular slices of dough.
  • Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with cream
  • Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned
  • Remove and serve warm

    After several failed attempts of making scones, I came to this recipe and at first attempt the results were amazing!! Very simple too, I only added raisins. Thank you.

    Hi, I made these as a result of having extra egg wash and incorporated into the scones recipes. Instead of pineapple and white chocolate chips I used mixed fruits (pumpkin, raisins, cranberry, nuts) and mini chocolate chips. The results was fantastic with a lovely texture. I served the wedges with butter and it was great.

    I will definitely be having these more often. Thanks for a well balance recipe.

    Thank you for another great recipe. I tried it. I however replaced the chocolates with semi-sweet milk chocs. Great for tea-time. Thanks
