Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chilled whipping cream
3/4 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons raspberry preserves

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Add butter and blend, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3/4 cup cream. Blend, using on/off turns, just until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup nuts. Gently knead with 4 or 5 turns to mix in nuts. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces; shape each into ball. Press out each to 6-inch round (about 1/4 inch thick). Spread preserves over 2 rounds, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Place 1 plain dough round atop each preserve-covered round; seal edges. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in plastic and chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter large baking sheet. Place rounds on work surface. Brush each with 1 tablespoon remaining cream; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup nuts, dividing equally and pressing to adhere. Using large knife, cut each round into 6 wedges. Arrange wedges on prepared sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Bake scones until puffed and deep golden, about 16 minutes. Transfer to platter or napkin-lined basket. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These scones were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland.

These scones were a bit too sweet for me. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I might try adjusting the recipe next time to see if I can get a better result.

Good recipe. The scones were simple to make and tasted great. I would have liked them to be a bit more moist, so next time I'll try adding a little extra butter.

A delightful recipe! I love the combination of raspberries and hazelnuts in these scones. They were easy to make and turned out beautifully. I couldn't resist adding a drizzle of honey on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
