Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (+ extra for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the Butter:
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
- Mix gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
- Fold in the Raspberries and White Chocolate:
- Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries and white chocolate chips. Be gentle to prevent the raspberries from breaking apart.
- Shape the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick round.
- Cut the round into 8 wedges using a sharp knife.
- Bake the Scones:
- Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with heavy cream for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Dust:
- Allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
Notes
- Substitute Frozen Raspberries: If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries work well and hold their shape better in the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the shaped scones for 10 minutes before baking to help them retain their structure.
- Serving Tip: Enjoy the scones warm for the best flavor and texture.
