Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup milk of choice we prefer cashew milk or whole milk
  • ⅓ cup cane sugar plus more for dusting
  • ½ cup unsalted butter vegan or regular, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 egg or sub 1 flax egg for vegan
  • ½ cup raspberries fresh or frozen

Lemony Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

  • Mix Wet Ingredients. Add milk, lemon juice, zest, and sugar to a bowl. Whisk to combine and whisk in the egg.
  • Add Dry Ingredients. To the same bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix with a spatula to combine. Next, add the cubed butter and use your hands to combine everything. 
  • Add Raspberries. To the same bowl, add either frozen or fresh raspberries. Gently fold into the dough. 
  • Refrigerate Dough. Transfer dough to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This helps shape the dough when cutting into scones and also helps the scones from over-spreading when they are baking. 
  • Shape Dough. Transfer dough to a floured surface and use your hands to carefully form the dough into a disc, about 1 inch in height, and cut into 8 wedges. Carefully transfer wedges to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Once the dough has chilled for 15 minutes, generously sprinkle cane sugar on top and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Make the Lemon Glaze. In a medium bowl, add powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice. Whisk until combined. 
  • Cool, Glaze & Enjoy. Remove the scones from the oven to cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze on top, and enjoy!
