Raspberry Scones with Lemon Cream Glaze

Scones are a type of quick bread that uses baking powder rather than yeast for leavening. This makes them quick and easy to put together and these get a lovely sweetness from the fresh raspberries and lemon cream glaze

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.

Notes

*you might need a little more cream or lemon juice to get the desired consistency
