RASPBERRY SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips, two butter knives, or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal and no pieces of butter are larger than a pea.
• In a glass measuring cup, beat together the cream, egg, and vanilla. Pour the cream mixture into the flour and butter mixture, and stir until a dough forms.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn out the dough. Scatter the raspberries on top of the dough and gently kneading the raspberries into the dough for 10 seconds, until the raspberries are evenly distributed throughout.Do note that because of the raspberries, the dough will be quite moist at this point; so be sure to lightly flour the work surface as needed to prevent sticking.
• Pat the dough into a square about 3/4 in/2 cm thick and let it rest for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425ºF/220ºC and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once the oven has preheated, use a knife to cut the dough into 9 squares and put them on the prepared baking sheet. Or use a 2-inch /5cm round cutter or the rim of a glass dipped in flour to punch out circles of dough. Be sure to cut them as closely to one another as possible; you should get 6 rounds, and when you pat the dough back together (it doesn't need to be a square this time), you should be able to get 3 more rounds. Avoid re-rolling the dough during this second stage, as this will result in tough scones.
• In a small bowl, beat together the egg, sugar, and salt. Lightly brush the tops of the dough pieces with the mixture and wait 1 minute until the topping sets. Sprinkle the tops with more sugar (about 1/2 tsp per scone) and bake for 13 to 18 minutes, until the scones are golden brown. Be sure to rotate the pan halfway through baking.
• Allow the scones to sit on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool slightly for 5 to 10 more minutes before serving.
• Serve the same day with butter, jam, and a delicious warm beverage.

MARY BERRY'S SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 420 F (220 C)
• Combine the baking powder, flour, and sugar in one bowl big enough tosquish your hands around in!
• Add the butter, some people say chopped up in chunks, but I just throw itall in.
• Using your fingers, combine the butter and dry ingredients by pinching ittogether and do what they call "rubbing it in." You should end upwith a mix that looks like breadcrumbs.
• In a measuring jug, crack the eggs in.
• Add milk until you reach 10 fl oz (300 ml).
• Mix the milk and eggs together.
• Add the milk and egg mixture to the rest of the mix, slowly, and combine asyou go. Do NOT pour it all in at once. You're going to want leftover mixture tobrush on top of the scones, and if you add it all, you may end up with a doughthat is way too sticky to be worked with.
• On a floured surface, roll or press out the dough until it's about 1/2 inch(5 centimeters).
• Cut out the dough in circles using a flutted cutter or top of a cut.
• Put your cut out scones on a baking tray. They don't need to be really farapart, just a few inches.
• Brush the tops with the leftover egg and milk mixture, either using a pastrybrush or a paper towel (again, let's get real and down to earth here!)
• Bake the scones until they go golden, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack.
• Cut in half and decide which way you're going to put the jam and clottedcream on. Do you put the jam on first, and then the clotted cream on top, orthe other way around? Your choice!

RASPBERRY & WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, then rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips, until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. You can also gradually pulse it in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gently fold in 75g of the white chocolate.
• Gradually stir the milk into the flour mixture, and use your hands to bring it together until you have a smooth dough. You may need to add an extra 15-20ml milk until you have a soft dough. Gently stir in the raspberries. Working quickly so the raspberries don't completely melt, lightly dust a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking parchment and the top of the dough with flour. Gently roll out the dough to a 2cm-thick circle (ours was 22cm). Cut into 8-10 triangles, like a pizza, spreading them all out so they're about 5cm apart but still in a circle.
• Bake for 18-20 mins until golden brown. Set aside to cool. Melt the remaining white chocolate either in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, or in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the scones before serving.

RASPBERRY ROSE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Combine the biscuit mix, rose water, and 1 cup of the drained raspberry juice. With a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients together thoroughly to make a dough. Gently knead into the dough 1/2 of the drained raspberries and the fresh raspberries, being careful not to squish them. (Reserve remaining canned raspberries for another use.) Spray 2 (8-inch) loaf pans with non-stick spray, then divide the dough mixture between the pans. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove loaves and set on cooling racks. Sprinkle some sugar on the top of loaves while they are still hot. When cool, slice loaves and serve with Lemon Cream Cheese Spread.
• Whip all ingredients together and chill in the refrigerator.
