Ingredients (serves 8):

- 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 white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking Tips:

- Use cold butter to ensure flaky scones.
- Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the white chocolate chips and blueberries.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
8. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into 8 wedges.
9. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Serve warm with butter and jam, if desired.
