Take-out Tuesday, Raspberry Scones with Lemon Cream Glaze
When I saw this recipe for
Ridiculiously Easy Lemon Raspberry Scones
my mouth started watering and I knew I had to make them!
Scones are a type of quick bread that uses baking powder
rather than yeast as a leavening agent
Mix the dry ingredients together
and add the zest from 1 lemon
The genius in this recipe
is putting the cream in the freezer for 10-15 minutes
When you add the hot melted butter
to the very cold cream it forms into small goblets
When you pour this mixture into the dry ingredients,
the butter is automatically evenly distributed
throughout the batter…so much easier
than the usual timely method of breaking cold butter down
into the dry ingredients with a fork!
After the cream butter mixture is mixed into the dry ingredients
add the halved raspberries
The batter is sticky so grease a serving spoon
to use as a scoop to put mounds of batter
on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
I’m afraid I under mixed my batter a little
so it was a little crumbly, but they baked up fine
After baking,
hold the parchment paper on both ends
and lift scones off the baking sheet
and let them cool on the counter
for 30-45 minutes to set
While the scones are cooling,
mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and heavy cream
Pour or drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones
Top with a fresh raspberry
❤️ A perfect Valentine treat! ❤️

Raspberry Scones with Lemon Cream Glaze
Equipment
- parchment paper
- sheet pan
Ingredients
Scones
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 Tbsp butter
- 2 cups flour
- 6 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 5 oz fresh raspberries, divided
- 1 lemon for zest
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 tsp heavy cream*
- 4 tsp fresh lemon juice*
Instructions
Scones
- Put 1 cup of cream in the freezer for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the dry ingredients
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Zest lemon
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt in a large mixing bowl. Add lemon zest and stir
- Set 12 raspberries aside and cut the remaining berries in half
- Melt butter
- Remove cream from freezer after 10-15 minutes and melted butter. Stir cream and butter will form into small clumps as is cools. Pour the cream butter mixture into bowl with dry ingredients
- Stir to combine, but do not over mix.
- Gently mix in halved berries
- Coat a large spoon with cooking spray and use it to scoop batter and place into 12 mounds on the baking sheet, placing them 1-2 inches apart for spreading while they bake
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Place baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes while oven preheats
- Bake for 16 minutes and check for doneness. Continue baking for 2-4 more minutes until scones are golden around the edges and look done.
- Remove from oven and carefully lift parchment paper off pan and set on counter to cool. Let scones cool for 15-30 minutes.
Glaze
- Mix sugar with cream and lemon juice until desired consistency. I kept mine fairly thick so it would stay mostly on top.
- Place scones onto a serving platter or plate and pour or drizzle with glaze. Top each scone with a whole raspberry.

Yes it is brilliant and it works like a charm! Thanks Rachelle~
These sound both AMAZING and so flippin’ easy! I’m definitely saving them and hopefully making them too!
I do have to ask what fancy-smancy program you’re using to create the printable recipe card. Is it something available in WordPress? I looked for something a while back for Blogger but kept coming up with nothing that I trusted.
Anyway, thanks for the recipe!!
hi Hope! Yes, WordPress has a recipe plug in that creates the printable. I hope you enjoy the scones~
