Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, trying not to crush them too much.

Step 7

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a circle about 1-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 10

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
