White chocolate and macadamia nut is a proven winning combo in 
cookies, so it's no surprise that the duo is right at home between 
the flaky layers of a scone. Each scone is blanketed in a buttery 
caramel glaze, a few more macadamia nuts for crunch, and some flakes 
of sea salt for an elegant finish.

Hands-On: 30 mins
Total: 30 mins

Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a food 
processor and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until sandy. 
Transfer to a large bowl; stir in nuts and white chocolate chips.

Make a well in dry ingredients and gradually add milk, using a fork 
to stir into a shaggy dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and 
gently knead until no dry spots remain.

Roll dough to an 8-by-10" rectangle, about 3/4" thick; cut into 12 
squares and transfer to prepared sheet. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 
minutes, rotating halfway through.

Glaze: Melt butter in a medium pot over medium. Add sugar and cook, 
stirring, until sugar is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and add 
milk (mixture will bubble and seize). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to 
medium, and cook, stirring, until smooth and caramel colored, 8 to 10 
minutes. Stir in kosher salt.

Spoon 1 tablespoon glaze over each scone. Top with nuts and flaky 
salt, if using.
