Fresh raspberry scones that are light and melt in your mouth buttery. Perfect for a Sweetheart’s breakfast on Valentine’s Day!

I’m a sucker when it comes to pretty holiday foods. I actively seek out opportunities to pull out my seasonal cookie cutters and make sandwiches, tortillas, and cookies even more festive. It’s a sickness, I tell you!

My scone recipe was the latest victim, but just look at those pretty raspberry scones. Perfect for a Valentine’s Day breakfast. I even added a handful of white chocolate chips to make them even more decadent this time around. Scones are one of those recipes that appears to be fancy or complicated, but is actually incredibly simple. Simple is best!

I stopped by the 99 Cents Only store in our town and had fun picking up all sorts of goodies for Valentine’s Day. Mini candy hearts, self inflating balloons, boxes of chocolates, plastic candy containers and even mini bottles of sparkling apple-cranberry juice. My FAVORITE!

They carry the mini bottles of Martinelli’s in all sorts of flavors, but I picked out the cranberry flavor since it was red and fit with my Valentine theme. I also found napkins, small white ceramic plates, cups, and all of the fresh ingredients that I needed to make my raspberry scones.

The 99 carries fresh produce! It’s true. My aunt cued me into this when we first moved into the Sacramento area. She had the most delicious strawberries that she picked up at her local store. They have a produce section as well as a dairy section.

I found the berries, milk, eggs, and butter that I needed without having to go to another grocery store.

Sweetheart Raspberry Scones

2 1/4 c. all purpose flour

2 t. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 c. sugar

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 c. COLD butter, grated

1 c. fresh raspberries

1 egg

3/4 c. milk

1 T. fresh squeezed lemon juice

1/2 c. white chocolate chips

2 T. butter, melted

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.  Set aside.

The key to perfect scones is all in the butter. Grate your COLD butter with a cheese grater and add it to your flour mixture.

Mash with pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Fold in raspberries.

Beat egg, milk, and lemon juice with a fork in a small bowl. Stir into flour/raspberry mixture.

Fold in white chocolate chips.

Gently turn out dough on a generously floured surface and roll into a 12″ round disc with a rolling pin. You don’t need to knead or work the dough. The less you handle the dough, the better. It will be a sticky dough, just flour your hands and work your dough without handling too much.

Cut with cookie cutter. Repeat with remaining dough scraps, working gently to press dough together before cutting again with cookie cutter.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes on parchment lined baking sheet.

Brush with melted butter.

Serve with a glass of ice cold milk or sparkling apple-cranberry juice for the perfect Valentine’s Day breakfast.

The 99 makes it easy to have a beautiful meal, made with fresh ingredients, on a budget! The 99 has all of your favorite name brands for any occasion at a price that can’t be beat. There is always something new and exciting at the 99. You never know what you’ll find when you “do the 99” (shop at 99 Cents Only Stores)!

  1. My 99cent store had the 48oz containers of smart and final brand cottage cheese last summer! Generally when products are not 99 cents, they sign them as such – so I confirmed and they were 99 cents! I bought all 5! LOL I was a little cottage cheesed out after a while; but I couldn’t pass them up – they dates were still good for about 6 weeks and that size is usually about $5; and I got 5 for $5!! 🙂

  8. Sadly I’m one of those that always who thinks scones must be so difficult to make. Something so delicious must take serious skill right? Your recipe looks so easy amd I love the fact that you added fresh raspberries. I’m going to have to try making these. Please wish me luck
