Ingredients

  • 2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, or all-purpose gluten-free flour, scoop & leveled
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar, golden or white
  • Pinch of fine salt, or Kosher salt
  • 60 g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed, or chilled coconut oil in chunks
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, or dairy-free chips
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries, do not thaw, or fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp whole milk, or almond milk

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200ºC (400ºF). Line a flat baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a high-speed food processor, add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to incorporate. NOTE: Please see notes below the recipe for a no-food processor option.
  • To the flour, add chilled cubed butter (or chilled coconut oil in chunks). Blend on high for 20 seconds until crumbly, resembling a coarse crumb.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir through the white chocolate chips.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Add raspberries and mix until a dough begins to form, you may want to use your hands for this step. Ensure not to over-mix, there will still be lumps of flour throughout and that’s ok.
  • Lightly flour your bench top or board.
  • Transfer dough onto the floured surface and lightly knead to bring any loose bits together, it’s meant to be a rough dough, not completely smooth.
  • Pat it out and form into a thick disc, approx. 2cm-3cm in height (approx. 1-inch).
  • Using a knife, cut into 8 triangle wedges.
  • Transfer to the lined baking tray. Allowing the scones to touch.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are lightly golden on top.
  • Remove from the oven and cover scones with a clean tea towel for 5 minutes. This will trap the steam in the scones, keeping them well risen.
  • Remove the tea towel and serve warm plain or with butter, whipped cream, or jam. Or cool scones completely on a wire rack and serve later.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Cold ingredients: Use chilled butter and cold cream when making the dough. Cold ingredients help create a flaky texture in the scones.
 
  • Do not thaw the frozen raspberries: If you're using frozen raspberries, just add them straight from your freezer.
 
  • Don't overwork the dough: Mix just until the ingredients come together to avoid developing too much gluten, which can result in a dense texture.
 
  • Store in an airtight container, at room temperature for 2-3 days. These scones are best consumed when they’re freshly baked! 
 
  • Freeze scones individually wrapped in plastic cling film, foil, sandwich zip-lock bag, or freezer bag/container. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months. 
 
  • Thaw scones at room temperature for several hours or overnight in the fridge. Reheat if desired in the oven, microwave or in an air-fryer until warmed through and enjoy.
