Raspberry 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
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons 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 granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops 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 to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
