Goji Berry Scones

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup dried goji berries
• 2/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 egg, whisked

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add chilled butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly. Make sure to leave some pea-sized chunks of butter for maximum flakiness.
4. Stir in the dried goji berries.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream and egg. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture while stirring until dough forms.
6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into 7-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 evenly sized triangles.
7. Transfer the scones onto the baking sheet.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.

Verdict:

These scones are a perfect balance between sweet and savory with bursts of goji berries in each bite. They’re easy to make and great for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
