Raspberry Scones
Ingredients
Scones
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, chilled and cut into pieces
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup cream
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 1 cup raspberries frozen or fresh both work well
Egg Wash
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon cream
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the butter in the dry mixture using a pastry cutter. The mixture will be crumbly.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the cream, egg, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Knead the dough slightly on a floured surface. Add the berries to the mixture and knead just enough to mix the berries throughout the dough.
- Form the dough into an 8" round circle, about 1 1/2" thick. Cut the circle into 8 pie-shaped wedges.
- Place the wedges about 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until nicely browned.
