Blueberry White Chocolate Scones

Everyone asks for this recipe. The white chocolate adds a surprise sweetness to these blueberry scones. I have also substituted cranberries for the blueberries on occasion and they are great as well. Depending on your oven, you may want to broil for the last minute to ensure that the tops are golden brown.
