🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 whole large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until you have a crumbly mixture with pea-sized bits of butter.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until the mixture just comes together, being careful not to overmix.

6. Add the fresh raspberries to the dough. Carefully fold them in to avoid crushing the berries.

7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Press it into a round disc about 1 inch thick.

8. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.

9. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.

10. Optional: Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, crispy finish.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden on top and cooked through.

12. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

13. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
