Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 8 scones
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and grated
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chunks
- Extra heavy cream for brushing
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the grated cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and white chocolate chunks, being careful not to crush the raspberries too much.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving warm with clotted cream and fresh raspberries, accompanied by a cozy cup of tea.
Helpful Tips
- For a zesty twist: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
- Make ahead: The dough can be prepared and frozen. Simply bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Substitutions: Substitute dark or milk chocolate chunks if white chocolate isn’t your favorite.
Storage Instructions
These scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven before serving to refresh their texture.
Pairings
Serve these delightful scones with clotted cream or a pat of butter, fresh raspberries, and a steaming cup of Earl Grey tea. For a more indulgent treat, pair with a vanilla latte or a hot cocoa.
