Equipment

Ingredients

  • 525 g self-raising flour
  • 240 mL heavy cream plus extra for brushing
  • 200 mL lemonade or other clear soda
  • 250 g frozen raspberries
  • 230 g white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Add the self-raising flour to a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the heavy cream and lemonade, then gently mix until the dough just starts to come together.
  • Add the frozen raspberries and white chocolate. Continue mixing gently until the dough is just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a rough rectangle.
  • Cut the rectangle in half and stack one half on top of the other. Press down gently, then repeat this folding process another two times to create flaky layers.
  • Shape the dough into a rectangle approximately 3–4cm thick, then cut into 8 equal pieces.
  • Transfer the scones to the prepared baking tray, brush the tops with a little extra cream and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.

Notes

  • Keep the raspberries frozen until you're ready to add them to the dough to minimise bleeding.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the scones light and fluffy.
  • This recipe makes 8 large, bakery-style scones. For smaller scones, cut the dough into 10–12 pieces and reduce the baking time to approximately 20–25 minutes.
  • These scones are best enjoyed fresh on the day they're baked, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or frozen for later.
  • Delicious served warm with salted butter, whipped cream or your favourite berry jam.
