White Chocolate Cherry Scones Recipe

Well these scones might be a little more like dessert than breakfast, but we can treat ourselves on holidays, right?

I like that this recipe incorporates the Valentine’s day colors of red and white. You can visit our Valentine’s Day Symbols page to learn more about the symbolism and meaning of red and white. Enjoy!

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 cup butter, chilled
3/4 cup whipped cream
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup marachino cherries, chopped
6 ounces white chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
