Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 Baking pan
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Measuring Cup
  • 1 kitchen scale

Ingredients
  

  • 240 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 113 grams (1 stick) cold butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream for brushing

Honey drizzle

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Prep the oven and the pan. Preheat oven to 375℉. Adjust the baking rack to the lower position to prevent the honey from browning the bottoms of the scones too quickly. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Chill the butter. Cube the butter into small pieces and place it back into the fridge for about 30 minutes or in the freeze for 10 minutes. It must be iced-cold. Alternative way: You can freeze a stick of butter and grate it directly into the flour.
  • Mix dry ingredients. In large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisking well aerates the flour for a lighter texture.
  • Cut in cold butter. Add cold cubed butter to the flour. Using your hands or pastry cutter, rub or cut the butter into flour. Aim for pea-sized chunks. They butter should be visible and not fully disappear into the flour.
  • Combine wet ingredients. In a measuring cup, add ½ cup of heavy cream, one cold egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk well to combine.
  • Form a shaggy dough. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and add 2 tablespoons of honey. I like to drizzle it evenly over the ingredients for easier distribution. Using a spatula, quickly mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Add frozen raspberries. Gently add the frozen raspberries, distributing them evenly and pushing them lightly into the dough.
  • Fold and knead. Transfer the dough into a lightly floured surface. Fold and knead it gently a few times until it barely comes together. It should still look rough and shaggy.
  • Shape and cut. Form the dough into disk (about 1 inch thick). Using a shark knife, cut the disk into 8 wedges, just like a pizza or a pie.
  • Bake the scones. Arrange them carefully on a prepared pan, living some space in between and they will expand and grow in size. Brush the tops with heavy cream. Bake at 375℉ for about 23-25 minutes until golden brown on top. Tip: Scones are ready when internal temperature reaches 200℉.
  • Drizzle with honey glaze. Let the scones cool down for about 15 minutes. Drizzle the with just honey or my signature honey drizzle.

Honey drizzle

  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of honey into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 20 second or until honey becomes thin. Add a pinch of salt and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Drizzle over barely warm scones. Do not drizzle over hot scones, because it will absorb into the scones, making them soggy.

Notes

You can freeze unbaked scones for up to 2 months.
Store cooked scones in air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week. 
Variations:  
  • Add white chocolate chips: raspberry and white chocolate go so well together. Since these scones are not overly sweet, adding white chocolate chips will make them sweet but balanced. 
  • Use different berries: if y0u have blueberries or blackberries, you can use them in place of raspberries. For strawberries, cut them in smaller pieces. 
  • Use dried fruit instead: Fold in some dried cranberries or raisins in place of fresh berries.
