RASPBERRY SCONES RECIPE



Raspberry Scones Recipe image

The secret to good raspberry scones is to handle the dough as little as possible and to use cold ingredients to achieve flaky layers; that's about it! These are proper raspberry scones-ones that will heal any bad day, bad week, or like in this case: a broken heart. Have them during the holidays, during a break-up, in the dead of winter, in the middle of summer, at the heart of Spring- they're exceptional.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups / 300 g all-purpose flour
5 Tablespoons / 65 g granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
6 Tablespoon / 85 g unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-in/12-mm cubes
1 cup / 240 ml heavy (whipping) cream
1 large egg, cold
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup / 125g fresh raspberries
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
Pinch of fine-grain sea salt
Granulated or demerara sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips, two butter knives, or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal and no pieces of butter are larger than a pea.
  • In a glass measuring cup, beat together the cream, egg, and vanilla. Pour the cream mixture into the flour and butter mixture, and stir until a dough forms.
  • Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn out the dough. Scatter the raspberries on top of the dough and gently kneading the raspberries into the dough for 10 seconds, until the raspberries are evenly distributed throughout.Do note that because of the raspberries, the dough will be quite moist at this point; so be sure to lightly flour the work surface as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Pat the dough into a square about 3/4 in/2 cm thick and let it rest for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425ºF/220ºC and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once the oven has preheated, use a knife to cut the dough into 9 squares and put them on the prepared baking sheet. Or use a 2-inch /5cm round cutter or the rim of a glass dipped in flour to punch out circles of dough. Be sure to cut them as closely to one another as possible; you should get 6 rounds, and when you pat the dough back together (it doesn't need to be a square this time), you should be able to get 3 more rounds. Avoid re-rolling the dough during this second stage, as this will result in tough scones.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the egg, sugar, and salt. Lightly brush the tops of the dough pieces with the mixture and wait 1 minute until the topping sets. Sprinkle the tops with more sugar (about 1/2 tsp per scone) and bake for 13 to 18 minutes, until the scones are golden brown. Be sure to rotate the pan halfway through baking.
  • Allow the scones to sit on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool slightly for 5 to 10 more minutes before serving.
  • Serve the same day with butter, jam, and a delicious warm beverage.

RASPBERRY-WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES



Raspberry-White Chocolate Scones image

In this scone recipe, I used dried raspberries to add intense flavor and replaced some of the butter with grated white chocolate. The result? Perfectly textured, tender, and light scones that weren't too delicate or crumbly. Definitely some of the best I've ever had! Serve with a nice cup of tea.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Scones

Time 13h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (6 ounce) containers fresh raspberries
2 ½ ounces white chocolate, or as needed
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 tablespoon white sugar, or more to taste
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons ice cold unsalted butter
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
  • Place fresh raspberries about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 4 hours, then turn oven off, leaving the berries inside for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
  • Roughly chop dried raspberries into smaller pieces and measure out ½ cup for this recipe. Reserve any extra for another use.
  • Grate white chocolate on the fine side of a grater until you have ½ cup.
  • Whisk 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Grate cold butter into the flour mixture, tossing every so often to coat it with flour so it doesn't start to clump. When all butter has been added, work it into the flour with a pastry blender. Add grated white chocolate and toss with a fork to incorporate.
  • Whisk ¾ cup milk and sour cream together in a liquid measure, then pour that into the flour mixture. Mix with a fork until everything just barely comes together to form a shaggy dough.
  • Transfer dough to a generously floured work surface and without kneading, push and pack it together with your hands until it holds its shape, adding a little flour if it's too sticky. Press dough into a rectangle, about ¾-inch thick, and roughly twice as long as it is wide.
  • Sprinkle dried raspberries evenly over the dough. Spread berries out almost to the edges and press them into the dough gently. Using a bench scraper, lift one third of the dough from one of the shorter edges and fold it in over the center third; press it down and square off the edges. Repeat with the other side so your scone dough is three layers thick.
  • Cut the rectangle in half with the bench scraper, then cut each half into 2 triangles. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together. Brush egg wash over each scone and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.
  • Quickly and carefully transfer to a rack and let cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.

RASPBERRY SCONES



Raspberry Scones image

This is as close to a traditional scone as BabyCakes NYC comes. I 86'ed the butter, obviously, and played up the sweet, all without abandoning the light-yet-satisfying texture. I find that raspberries, more delicate than currants or other popular berries used in scones, have a tanginess that's a perfect accompaniment to morning tea.

Yield makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole spelt flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coconut oil, plus more for brushing
1/3 cup agave nectar, plus more for brushing
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup hot water
1 cup fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the oil, agave nectar, and vanilla and stir together until a thick, slightly dry batter is formed. Pour the hot water into the batter and mix. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the raspberries just until they are marbled throughout the batter.
  • For each scone, scoop 1/3 cup batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the scoops 1 inch apart to allow them to spread. Lightly brush the tops with the oil. Bake the scones on the center rack for 14 minutes, rotating the sheet 180 degrees after 7 minutes. The finished scones will be golden and slightly firm. Remove from the oven and brush with agave nectar.
  • Let the scones stand on the sheet for 15 minutes, then carefully slide a spatula under each and transfer it to a wire rack and cool completely. Store the scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries. Fresh raspberries are best, but frozen raspberries will work in a pinch. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the scones rise and keep their shape.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown. The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter and jam. Scones are best served warm with butter and jam. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Raspberry scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect raspberry scones every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these raspberry scones a try!
