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
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
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 to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and lemon zest until evenly distributed.
- 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 a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the scones cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the scones are completely cool, dust the tops with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
- Serve and enjoy!
