Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1/2 cup Heavy cream
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup Fresh raspberries
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your 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 flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the raspberries and lemon zest, being careful to avoid crushing the berries too much.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 7-inch disc that is about 1-inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 10

While the scones cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the scones and let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your Mimi's Valentine Raspberry Scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
