| Raspberry White Chocolate Scones | |
| 2 cups | flour |
| 1/3 cup | sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | baking powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon | baking soda |
| 1/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 6 tablespoons | butter, cold or even frozen |
| 1/3 cup | white chocolate chunks |
| 3/4 cup | raspberries, fresh or frozen |
| 1/2 cup | plain yogurt |
| 1 teaspoon | lemon zest |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | pure vanilla extract |
| 1 | egg |
| icing sugar | |
Preheat oven to 375?.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter, another option is to grate the frozen butter which works really well. The mixture should be very crumbly. Stir in chocolate chunks and raspberries. If working with frozen raspberries don’t add them straight away, you don’t want them to thaw in the dough.
Mix together yogurt, vanilla and egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Be careful not to over mix.
At this point the recipe said to knead the dough, but with the raspberries I found this very difficult and it started to turn the entire dough fuchsia - so I didn’t. They turned out beautifully anyways. Plus the dough was far to moist, an additional cup or so of flour would have been needed for any proper kneading to be done,
Cut rounds of dough - or scoop and shape - place on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with any remaining yogurt and milk combined, or an egg wash. I didn’t want to waste an entire egg, and I had left over yogurt which worked nicely.
Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, or until golden, fluffy and when a toothpick is inserted it comes out clean.
Ok, this is the fancy part - which I just love!
Remove scones from the oven, turn on the broiler and move the oven rack up to the top. Sprinkle icing sugar on the tops of each scone and place them under the broiler to melt the sugar. Only a few seconds is needed, rotate the pan when needed.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Makes 8 scones.
