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 dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh raspberries, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, the zest of 1 lemon, and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into an 8-inch circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the scones warm or at room temperature.
