How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Scones
Step By Step Instructions

- In a large bowl blend dry ingredients and butter with a pastry blender.

- Cut the wedges from the dough,
- Place scones on a prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each scone with a little sugar.
- Bake until golden brown.

Pro Tips and Timesaver Shortcuts
- Use the middle shelf of the oven for best results.
- It's ok if the fruit gets a little crushed while blending into the batter. It makes for a lovely fruit scone.
- You can use a food processor in place of the pastry blender to save some time.
Variations, Notes, and Substitutions
- If you do not have a pastry blender, two forks will work as well.
- You can divide the dough into two circles and make smaller size scones. Just ensure that the scones are about the same size so they will cook evenly.
- Heavy cream substitute for the milk for a richer scone
- You can replace the white chocolate topping with a dark chocolate topping or a lemon icing. Just add a little lemon juice to ¾ cup of powdered sugar for an easy glaze.
Serving and Storage Suggestions
- These are great on a serving tray as a dessert or tea party bread.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
FAQ
Can you freeze Raspberry Scones?
Yes, however it is best to freeze the dough and pull out when ready to use. Freezing scones after cooking results in a dryer and less flavorful scone in my experience.
Can I use Frozen Raspberries for scones?
Yes you can but be sure that the raspberries are completely thawed before using.
How Can I Tell When Scones are Done?
Scones will be golden brown on the top and edges. They will also be golden brown on the bottoms.
