How To Make buttermilk scones w/ 2 spreads

  • Step 1
    WHITE CHOCOLATE MASCARPONE BUTTER: Put the white chocolate chips & vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl & microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring, until melted; let cool. Add the butter and mascarpone to the white chocolate mixture & beat with a mixer until combined. SWEET CREAM: Beat the cream cheese, sour cream & brown sugar in a bowl with a mixer until smooth. Chill both until needed.
  • Step 2
    BUTTERMILK SCONES: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, dry buttermilk & salt in a medium bowl. Add the rosemary & chocolate chips. In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter, vanilla & 1 C cream. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface & knead until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Step 3
    Divide the dough into 2 balls; roll out each ball into a 1/2 - 3/4" thick disk. Brush the tops of the disks with the remaining 2 Tbsp cream, then sprinkle with the brown sugar. Cut each disk into 6 wedges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet & bake until golden brown, 12 - 16 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
