These raspberry scones not only make a wonderful breakfast or brunch treat! I added some blueberries and they become patriotic too! A fun snack or dessert and so good with cream or ice cream!
I am happy to report that berries are abundant right now in the grocery store. The other day I needed something to go with our coffee in the morning that was not overly sweet, so I made scones.
Why this Recipe?
This scones recipe was adapted from the Joy of Cooking cookbook. I used to make scones a lot when my daughter was younger and we would have tea parties with friends. It has been a long time since we have done that and I think we are going to have to schedule a spring tea soon.
My girlfriends and I like to schedule a quarterly tea time to enjoy catching up with each other. Have you been to tea lately? These scones are great for breakfasts and brunches too. They would be fun to make for Mother's Day too.

These sound fantastic!! I've never thought to mix two berries together in a scone, love it!! Raspberries are my favorite and I love blueberries, too - great combination.
Raquel
Thanks Kristy! They came out really good & the fruit is still nice and juicy.
Tamara
Yours look very good. I usually think the scones you get at restaurant/stores are too dry but yours doesn't look that way at all. The best food in the world is summer berries, I sometimes think.
Raquel
I know what you mean Tamara. I love baking with summer berries! Then I figure I can count it as a fruit! 🙂
Stephanie
OH MY! These look delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'm going to have to try to make these! Yum!
Raquel

So i tried this recipe however the dough did not get doughie. It was loose like the dough you use to make banana bread. Regardless of how much flour I added I could not get it to thicken up to a dough consistency that could be kneaded. What did I do wrong?
I did tweak the ingredients a bits. I used lactose free stick butter and evaporated milk because that was what I had on hand to use.
Raquel
It may have been the evaporated milk causing the issue. Where you using all-purpose flour or a different flour?
Cynthia
I want to try these scones but I am not sure about the amount of berries. Is it 3/4 of a cup of each berry or 3/4 of a cup combining the two berries? Also, can I make them smaller?
Raquel
Hi Cynthia, I use 3/4 cup of each berry. And yes, you can make them smaller, just watch them as they may be done a couple of minutes early since they are snaller.
