A scone worth the calories! I started with a traditional recipe and tweaked. Serve with fresh clotted cream.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium lemons
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla powder
6 tablespoons frozen unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup milk
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
½ tablespoon potato starch

Steps:

  • Zest both lemons; juice 1/2 of a lemon. Set aside.
  • Combine 3 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and vanilla powder in a bowl, making sure ingredients are well mixed. Cut in frozen butter with a pastry blender until mixture is the texture of sand and you can no longer see pieces of butter. Place bowl into the freezer to keep cold.
  • Whisk milk, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together in a separate small bowl until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough comes together, then add the chocolate chips and raspberries. Gently form dough into a ball. Do not overwork.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons flour, superfine sugar, and starch in a separate bowl and sift a layer onto the parchment paper.
  • Transfer the dough ball onto the parchment paper and use your hand to flatten into a 1 3/4-inch thick circle. Place baking sheet into the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut the dough into 8 triangles and separate until they're 1 inch apart. Dust with flour, sugar, and starch mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until they rise and become golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
