Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk, cold
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (40g) black sesame seeds, lightly toasted and ground
  • 1/2 cup (90g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toast the black sesame seeds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then grind coarsely using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground black sesame seeds.
  4. Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture and cut in using a pastry cutter, two forks, or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter remaining.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and egg until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7-inch (18cm) circle about 1-inch (2.5cm) thick. Cut into 8 equal wedges.
  7. Place the wedges about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, brush the tops lightly with milk or an egg wash.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The edges should be crisp and the interior tender.
  9. Cool the scones on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before glazing.
  10. Melt the white chocolate with heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. Stir in vanilla extract if using.
  11. Drizzle or spread the white chocolate glaze over the cooled scones and let set for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky scones. Do not overmix the dough to avoid toughness. Toast sesame seeds carefully to avoid burning. If dough is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before shaping. Fresh baking powder ensures good rise. Glaze can be gently warmed if thickened before use.
