Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup (135 grams) white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (about 125 grams) fresh raspberries
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. Toss the raspberries lightly in a tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold in the white chocolate chips and raspberries.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and stir just until the dough comes together. If too dry, add a splash more cream but avoid overmixing.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7-inch (18 cm) circle about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick. Cut into 8 equal wedges.
  7. Place the wedges on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  9. While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and milk until smooth and pourable to make the glaze.
  10. Remove scones from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over the warm scones and transfer to a cooling rack to set.

Notes

Keep butter very cold to create flaky layers and crispy edges. Toss raspberries in flour before folding in to prevent soggy dough. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones. Brush tops with cream before baking for a golden finish. Cool scones on a wire rack to maintain crispness. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk and coconut milk. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum if needed.
