WHITE CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY SCONES

These white chocolate strawberry scones were inspired by similar flavored shortbread cookies in a holiday hamper from Harrods. Why I hadn't thought of making baked goodies with the flavors before still surprises me, but at least we have it in our repertoire now!

Instructions

  • Bake 20-25 minutes, rotating ten minutes into baking time. Let cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and jam. If too thick to drizzle, add more milk in very small increments. If too thin, add powdered sugar.
  • Drizzle icing over scones. Enjoy immediately or let sit. Cover to serve next day.
