Starbucks Copycat Caramel Scones

3 cups unbleached all purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted or salted butter, (or margerine)

3/4 cup half and half, or light whipping cream

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt, (if unsalted butter is used)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 cup milk, (for best results use whole milk)

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup butterscotch baking chips

Topping:

1/3 cup butterscotch baking chips, fine chopped (use food processor)

1 egg white, slightly beaten

Confectioner's sugar, (optional)

 

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 425 F.

 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place flour and butter in a medium

mixing bowl, combine with your fingers to a coarse meal consistency. Add sugar,

baking powder and salt (if used) combine well. Stir in cream, vanilla and egg,

blending well to form a soft dough.

 

Scoop mixture onto baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg white; sprinkle

ground butterscotch chips over top. Bake until browned - 16-18 minutes. Dust

with confectioner's sugar when cool.
