Raspberry-Rose Scones

Description

I love the combination of raspberry and rose! I’ve tried it in cookies and turnovers and recently decided to adapt a scone recipe to include both. These are lovely with a cup of floral tea. Sprinkle dried rose petals on top for a pretty presentation.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, frozen
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon rose water (such as Nielsen-Massey)
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry-flavored sugar

  2. Mix flour
  3. sugar
  4. baking powder
  5. salt
  6. and baking soda together in a large bowl.

  10. and rose water together in a small bowl with a fork. Pour over the flour-butter mixture. Mix with a fork just until large clumps of dough form. Gently mix in raspberries.

  12. Arrange wedges on the baking sheet. Brush tops with 2 tablespoons cream and sprinkle with raspberry sugar.

  14. about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
