Ingredients
250gramsPlain Flour
100gramsGranulated Sugar
2.5tspBaking Powder
½tspSalt
100gramsButter
125gramsDouble Cream
1largeEgg
1tspVanilla Essence
150gramsFrozen Raspberries
100gramsWhite Chocolate
Instructions
Sieve the Plain Flour into a mixing bowl and add the Sugar, Baking Powder and Salt.
Rub in the butter, taking care not to handle the mixture too much.
Whisk the Double Cream, Egg, and Vanilla Essence in a bowl and pour into the mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients together with your hands or a fork. The mixture should be very wet and sticky.
Chop the White Chocolate into chunks approx 1 cm square and add to the dough with the frozen Raspberries. Mix them into the dough.
On a lightly floured surface, shape the mixture into a circle about 2.5 cm deep. I usually shape this by hand as the dough is too sticky for a rolling pin and it is easy to shape. Cut into 8 triangles and place on a lightly floured baking tray.
Brush the top of the Scones with a little cream and sprinkle each with a little sugar. Place the baking tray in the fridge for 15 mins to cool the Scones before putting them in the oven (this helps to reduce spreading)
Heat the oven to Fan 190 / Electric 200 / Gas Mark 5
After Chilling for 15 mins and once the oven is at temperature, put into the oven on the top shelf and cook for 20-25 mins.
Once the outside is crisp and golden brown, remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
