Buttery Raspberry White Chocolate Scones


  • Author: Lilya
  • Total Time: 37 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

Tender, flaky scones loaded with tart raspberries and sweet white chocolate. These easy weekend bakes require minimal handling and cold ingredients for the perfect texture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or fork to cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter chunks.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold gently with a silicone spatula until dough just comes together; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in white chocolate chips and raspberries. If using fresh raspberries, toss them in a tablespoon of flour first.
  7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Do not knead.
  8. Cut circle into 8 wedges. Press cut edges together slightly.
  9. Place scones on prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  10. Brush tops with a little extra heavy cream.
  11. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold for flaky layers. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones. Freeze-dried raspberries provide intense flavor without adding excess moisture that can make dough soggy. Scones can be frozen unbaked and baked straight from the freezer, adding 5 minutes to bake time.
