Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- 2Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- 3Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and raspberries. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in 0.75 cup of heavy cream. Stir with a fork until just combined and a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- 4Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead a few times, just enough to bring the dough together. Pat the dough into a 7-8 inch round, about 1 inch thick. Cut the round into 8 wedges.
- 5Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream.
- 6Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. These are best served warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries! Do not thaw them before adding to the dough, as they can become mushy. Adding them frozen helps them hold their shape better during baking.
What if my scones are dry?
Dry scones are often a result of overworking the dough or not enough liquid. Ensure you mix the dough only until just combined and avoid heavy kneading. The dough should be shaggy and slightly sticky. Also, make sure your butter is very cold for a tender crumb.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prepare the scone dough, cut the wedges, and then freeze them on the baking sheet until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, place frozen scones on a prepared baking sheet and bake for a few extra minutes (about 20-25 minutes total) without thawing.
