Time: 35 minutes Yields: 12 scones
INGREDIENTS
½ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
¾ cup cold milk
1 cup fresh raspberries
½ cup white chocolate chips
For the glaze:
1 cup icing sugar
3 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Place the
dry mix in a large bowl. Remove ¼ cup of the dry mixture and set aside.
4. Using your hands, work butter into the dry mix until pea-sized pieces form. Leave some visible pieces of butter.
5. Add the milk, raspberries, and white chocolate chips and stir just until the dough comes together.
Do not over mix. 6. Sprinkle the reserved dry mix on a clean surface and take the dough out of the bowl. Fold the dough in half several times, pressing down each time, incorporating the excess dry mix.
7. Pat the dough into a 9 inch round. Cut the dough into 12 equal wedges.
Place scones on the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bottoms are golden brown.
For the glaze:
1. Whisk together the icing sugar and lemon juice. Add more lemon juice or icing sugar if needed for your desired consistency. Add lemon zest to the glaze to boost the lemon flavour.
2. Drizzle the glaze on the warm scones. For a further indulgence, top with a dollop of Provisions Bumbleberry Jam and enjoy!
Cooled scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
