Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups (315g) All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) Granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup (113g / 4 oz) Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) Heavy cream
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) Fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup (85g) White chocolate chips
- 1 Large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Milk or cream (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can also pulse in a food processor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chips.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick disc.
- Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut out scones. Try to make clean, vertical cuts and avoid twisting the cutter.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash before baking.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
