Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, frozen and cubed
- ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk or Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg (50g)
- 1 tbsp (6g) lemon zest
- 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the frozen, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks remaining.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or Greek yogurt), egg, and lemon zest.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, stopping as soon as they are distributed to avoid streaking the dough.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into an 8-inch disc, approximately 1 inch thick.
- Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet with 2 inches of space between each.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until the tops are a pale mahogany-gold and the edges are firm.
- Allow the scones to cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled scones.
