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

    scone dough rolled out and cut into heart shapes
    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!

     

    bowl of fresh raspberries
    My scone recipe was the latest victim but just look at those pretty white chocolate 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!

    White Chocolate Raspberry Scones

    • 2 ¼ cup flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ cup COLD butter
    • 1 cup raspberries
    • 1 egg
    • ¾ cup milk
    • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
    • ½ cup white chocolate chips
    • 2 Tbsp. butter, melted

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

    grated butter next to grater
    TIP: 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.

    pastry cutter in a bowl of flour
    Mash butter with pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

    bowl of fresh raspberries for scones
    Fold in raspberries.

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

    bowl of white chocolate chips
    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.

    Do you have to use cold butter in scones?

    The best pastries come from cold or frozen butter. You can either cut it into tiny cubes and use a pastry cutter or grate frozen butter (my favorite method).

    Can you substitute another berry for raspberries in this scones recipe?

    Blueberry scones are one of my FAVORITES. They'd be delicious in this recipe as well as blackberries.

        Hi Sarah! I fixed the wording! It said, "Mash until it resembles coarse crumbs." Should have said, "Mash butter into flour until it resembles coarse crumbs." Sorry about that!

        Hi! This makes about 6 heart shaped scones, depending on the size of your cookie cutter. If you slice your round scone dough into triangles using a pizza cutter instead you can make 8 of them. Hope that helps!

      I love a good scone. The only place I’ve ever been able to find one that is good is a private gourmet bakery or Starbucks. This recipe is not good. It has no taste. I followed the recipe exactly and although the look just like the picture, they are tasteless. I won’t keep this recipe.

      These scones were lovely straight out of the oven. Ever so slightly chewy & way better than your average scone. Thank you for the lovely recipe!

      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

      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!! 🙂
