A recipe for making tender, flaky scones featuring white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water (for optional glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries. The dough will be shaggy.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or press the dough into a 3/4-inch thick circle or square.
  8. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges or use a round cutter to cut out scones. Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops lightly with extra heavy cream.
  10. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the scones cool on a wire rack.
  12. If glazing, whisk the powdered sugar and milk/water together until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled scones.

Notes

  • Keep your butter and cream very cold for the flakiest texture.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible to prevent the butter from melting.
  • If you use frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the dough.
  • For a bakery style look, you can brush the tops with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water) instead of cream before baking.
