Blueberry Scones with White Chocolate

• Dried Wild Blueberries
• Vegetarian

Delicious for breakfast, at snack time or as a dessert (well, any time, really), these easy-to-make scones deliver some great complex flavours. Our dried wild blueberries spread out through the dough so you get a full mouthful of flavour with each bite. The white chocolate is optional but it really boosts the zesty, sweet and sour flavour trio. It’s up to you…;-)

Steps

1. Place rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In the food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add butter and blend until the size of small peas. Add egg, buttermilk, ricotta and lemon extract. Mix gently for a few seconds, just enough to moisten the flour. Transfer to a bowl and fold in white chocolate chips and dried blueberries, without overmixing.

3. On a work surface dusted with flour, flatten the dough with your fingers or roll out with a rolling pin to about 2 cm (3/4 in) thick. Cut dough into 8 triangular pieces and place on baking sheet, with space in between.

4. Brush dough triangles with buttermilk. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool on a rack.
