This basic scone recipe will work with any berries, so you can swap out the raspberries for blueberries, strawberries or blackberries, or use a mixture of them all. The scones are the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee or afternoon tea.

Ingredients

Scones:

Icing:

Directions

  1. For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk the cake flour and all-purpose flour together in the bowl of a stand mixer, then add the granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  3. In a pitcher, whisk the heavy cream and sour cream together.
  4. Using a box grater, grate the frozen butter and add to the flour mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix on medium-low speed until the butter is worked in, about 1 minute. Add the cream mixture to the bowl and mix until you have a crumbly texture, about 30 seconds.
  5. Turn the mixture out onto a sheet of parchment paper and pat into a rough square. Use a rolling pin to thin the dough to a 12-by-10-inch rectangle.
  6. Scatter over the raspberries, then roll up like a jelly roll before flattening the log into a 1-by-4-by-12-inch strip. Cut into thirds, creating 3 squares, then cut each square diagonally, making 6 pieces.
  7. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
  8. For the icing: Whisk the powdered sugar, jam, butter, cream, vanilla and salt together in a bowl. If it is too thick, add more jam or a splash of cream. Spoon over the cooled scones and spread to the corners. Let set for an hour, then serve.
