Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Mix gently with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough just starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle that is about 1-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
-
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
-
Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra cream for a golden finish.
-
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
