Raspberry Almond Scones
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of almond extract
- 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup of sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and sliced almonds.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently pat it into an 8-inch circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the scones with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
