Ingredients
Scones:
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream, cold
10 tablespoons salted butter, frozen
1 1/4 cups raspberries (about 6 ounces)
Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup raspberry jam, or more as needed
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Pinch kosher salt
Directions
- For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- In a pitcher, whisk the heavy cream and sour cream together.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
- 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.
