Raspberry Lemon Scones
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
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 sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and lemon zest, being careful not to crush the berries.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat it into a 8-inch circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
