I’ve got a new scone recipe for you today and this one is incredible, Oreo Scones!!! I love baking scones, both sweet and savory and I love coming up with new ideas for them. This past weekend I had to make several batches of scones for a gift so I figured while I had all the ingredients I might as well throw together a really fun scones recipe. I found a package of mini Oreos in the pantry and thought YES these will be awesome. I use my regular scone recipe and added the smashed oreos and white chocolate chips… heaven!
My family laughs a bit when I get in the kitchen to start baking scones. I typically make 4 batches at a time… they freeze great and I love having them on hand for a spontaneous coffee & scone date with a friend or for a quick breakfast or dessert. Every time I bake scones I do give myself a little pat on the back.. they are SO good and should I ever hit the lottery or receive a random large donation {a girl can dream right}, I would LOVE to open a little cafe and these scones would definitely be on the menu!
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 6 Tbsp cold butter, small dice
- 1 heaping cup smashed oreos
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, divided
- egg wash {1 egg whisked with a little water}
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a food processor fit with the dough blade.
- Add in the cold butter and continue to mix until the butter becomes incorporated and the pieces are about the size of peas.
- Add the dry mixture to a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and the oreos.
- In a measuring cup mix together the buttermilk and egg. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until the dry ingredients are mostly incorporated.You do not want to overwork the dough.
- Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface {too much flour will leave you with a heavy dense scone}. Gently press together to form into a square or rectangle about 1 inch high.
- Cut into 6-8 even squares or rectangles. Place onto a lined baking sheet and brush with the egg wash.
- Bake for approx 22-24 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool completely.
- In a small bowl add the remaining 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips. Microwave in :20 second intervals until melted. Drizzle over the cooled scones.
