Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in the chilled butter cubes into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Add this to the flour mixture, along with the dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and chopped pecans. Mix until just combined.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, just until it comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
6. Pat the dough into a roughly 8-inch circle and cut it into 8 wedges.
