These scones are rich, tender, and flaky with juicy raspberries and creamy white chocolate, perfect for weekend breakfasts or brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50g) sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
  • ¾ cup (130g) white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; dough should be slightly sticky.
  6. Fold in raspberries and white chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7-inch (18cm) circle about 1-inch (2.5cm) thick.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  9. Brush the tops lightly with heavy cream or milk.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Let scones rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool or serve warm.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold to ensure flaky texture. Do not overmix dough. Fold in raspberries and chocolate gently to avoid crushing berries or melting chocolate prematurely. Brush tops with cream or milk for a golden finish. Check baking time closely to avoid overbaking.
