Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (75g) dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup (85g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add cold butter and use a pastry cutter or forks to work it into the flour until pea-sized crumbs form.
- Stir in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
- In a small bowl, mix heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour it into the dry mix and gently stir until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a circle about 1 inch (2.5cm) thick.
- Use a sharp knife to slice into 8 triangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For best results, use cold butter and cream to ensure flaky layers. Avoid overworking the dough, and brush the tops with cream for a golden finish.
