To make these scones, you will need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, cut in half
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the white chocolate chips and raspberries.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 equal pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.
Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes before serving. These Raspberry White Chocolate Scones are best enjoyed warm with a cup of tea or coffee.
