### Creme Brulee Scones
#### Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup turbinado sugar, for topping
#### Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy.
6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
8. Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
10. Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and sprinkle turbinado sugar generously over each one.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
12. Once done, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. Serve these delightful Creme Brulee Scones warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures with each bite.
