RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

My sister texted me from the ski slopes in Jasper, Alberta to rave about some raspberry white chocolate scones that she had found there.  They sounded pretty darn good to me!

As regular readers of Rock Recipes know, I am very fond of all things scone related and raspberry related, so how could I not try to invent a version of my own.

I made this batch early yesterday morning and once again shared them, fresh out of the oven, with the folks in my office, where they literally went like hot cakes. My co-workers absolutely loved these scones, with many declaring them the best scones they’d ever eaten. Let’s see if you agree.

2018 UPDATE: So many people have fallen in love with this recipe since I first posted it. My friend Nancy in particular has made them a family institution at her house and although she has made them dozens of times, she reports that they still consistently get rave reviews. Take Nancy’s advice and try them for yourself.

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 6 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup very cold butter cubed
• 6 ounces good quality chopped white chocolate
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
• US Customary - Metric

Instructions

1. I start these in my food processor because it is so fast but they can be made just as easily in a large bowl by cutting the butter in with a pastry blender or even 2 knifes held between the fingers.
2. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. Pulse in the cold butter until this mixture resembles a coarse meal. It is very important that pea sized pieces of butter remain in this mixture.
