Tender scones bursting with ripe raspberries and hints of lemon, and sprinkled with sugar.

Raspberry Scones

Sorry, I’ve been a little quiet this week.

I’ve spent the past few days buried under a pile of tissues and blankets, struck by what I believe is the flu.  It kept me completely, frustratingly couch-bound throughout the whole weekend and still has me lagging and coughing and speaking in a much-too-deep, unrecognizable man-voice (does that happen to anyone else when they get sick? It’s pretty bad).

So though I tried to make something for this week, between the aches and the chills and the temporary loss of taste due to a stuffed up nose, recipe testing and re-testing has been put on hold until this upcoming weekend.

But I still have something for you.

Raspberry Scones

While I couldn’t make anything new because 1) my energy level is about negative 500, though the chills and aches have subsided, and 2) My sense of taste has been severely compromised (I tried to muddle through making spicy margaritas in preparation for Cinco de Mayo, only to have Zach tell me they tasted like blended jalapenos…), I still wanted to have something for you this week.

So, I re-did an old recipe from the archives, my sister Jaclyn’s favorite: Raspberry Scones.  This recipe was in dire need of re-photographing, and it has been made and re-made so many times that I didn’t have to worry about changing up the recipe, or trusting my sense of taste to judge their quality (though the tasting abilities I have left were big fans of the final product).

Raspberry Scones

These scones are buttery, slightly sweet, and absolutely bursting with tangy berries.  Best enjoyed warm, they are tender and fluffy and the perfect bright, cheery treat for getting you through the day… or the last stages of the flu.

Enjoy, and I’ll see you with a new recipe on Monday.

Author: Sam Merritt

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cups cold butter (frozen is better if you will be grating it, or at least pop it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before grating)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons heavy cream divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract Or zest of one lemon
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or, preferably, use a box grater to grate in the butter and then cut in with a pastry cutter, and combine until mixture resembles coarse crumbles.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, 3/4 cup heavy cream, lemon zest or extract and almond extract.
  • Add wet ingredients into dry and combine until dough is just moist.*
  • Transfer dough to clean, lightly floured surface. Add your frozen raspberries and fold in berries by hand.
  • Flatten dough out until it is 3/4" thick.
  • Use a 2 1/2" wide biscuit cutter or the rim of a small glass to cut out 16 scones.
  • Transfer scones to parchment paper-lined baking sheet and brush with the reserved 2 Tablespoons of cream. Sprinkle tops with granulated sugar (preferably coarse sugar, but regular will work, too).
  • Bake at 375F for 15-18 minutes.
  • Allow scones to cool a bit before eating, but these are best when eaten warm.

Notes

*This is a quite dry dough that takes a while to thoroughly moisten. You may need to use your hands to get it to cling together, or if you are using your KitchenAid you may give it a few stirs with the mixer until it clings together.

    My husband and sister loved these as is; just a tad too much extract for me but doesn’t interfere with my consumption!

    These are delicious, of course, but we’re way too much trouble to make. I would change Step 4 to say “continue to work dough with a spatula until it is beginning to form a ball.” Then you can remove it from the bowl and fold in the berries. I dumped it out too early and now my counter looks like a brutal murder scene, and the scones are a horrible color. Fortunately, the taste trumps everything for me, and I know how to do it right with the rest of the berries. Oh, and I had to make an extra trip to the store to get the berries, because when I went to get them, I got distracted by ice cream and forgot the berries! (Typical man, I know)

    Bottom line, I have a big batch of wonderful scones!

    Hi Sam! I have a ton of fresh raspberries in my fridge. Can I use them instead of frozen? Thanks!

      Hi Liz! That should work fine here, it’s just a little more challenging to work them in. 🙂

    These were so good! I did have to add some more heavy cream because the dough was to crumbly. Everyone in my family loved it!

    Sam,
    When you were ill the last time I emailed you about the honey and lemon. I did not say raspberries and lemon. 🙂
    I hope you are on the mend.
    No matter whether the recipe is old or new, you have used my favorite fruit combo with the combining of raspberries and lemon. The only thing in the world better with raspberries would be dark chocolate. This recipe will be going into my Sam file. I have 2 food fills on my note.
    Pinterest and Sugar Spun Run. Closing with a feel better Samantha prayer and a hug. Fondly, Pat

      Haha! Sorry Pat, I’m easily confused 😉
      I’m feeling much better than I did earlier in the week, thank you! Thanks so much for the kind words, and I agree with you about the raspberries and dark chocolate (SO divine!). I am so honored to have my own file on your note!
      Thanks again, Pat, your comment has made me feel even better 🙂
