Raspberry White Chocolate Scones
Buttery, flaky scones packed with fresh raspberries and chunks of white chocolate, these come together quickly with a standard cut-in-butter method. They work equally well for breakfast or an afternoon snack alongside tea or coffee. From mixing bowl to cooling rack takes about 35 minutes.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowl
- Pastry Cutter
- Rolling pin
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
For the Dry Components:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour preferably unbleached for a better texture
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder ensure freshness for best results
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Wet Components:
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and diced into cubes
- 1 cup heavy cream plus more for brushing
For Add-ins:
- 1 cup raspberries fresh or frozen, if using frozen, do not thaw
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour heavy cream into the mixture and gently stir with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chips, being cautious not to break the berries too much.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Cut the disc into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with a little heavy cream and bake for 18-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- To intensify the flavors, consider using freeze-dried raspberries infused with raspberry liqueur.
- If you want a more citrusy note, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dry ingredients.
