Simple and quick to prepare, these little Raspberry Lemon Scones are full of tart berry and tangy lemon flavor. They’re perfect for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack.
A few weeks back, Tessa and her friend Kadin snacked on Raspberry Lemon Scones after school. Since Kadin couldn’t seem to get enough of these tender, fruity scones, I told him I’d send the recipe to his mom.
Eliza and I had been testing the scones in preparation for baking with her fifth grade class at school, so when I sent the recipe, I added a note explaining that Kadin could bake them himself with just a little help.

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt

¾ cups heavy cream
¾ cup frozen raspberries
Glaze
½ large lemon, juiced
½ to 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut butter into ¼-inch pieces and return it to the refrigerator to keep it cold until needed.
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a large wide bowl. Mix to combine.
- Add butter to the dry ingredients and toss it to coat with flour. Working quickly with clean fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
- Add frozen raspberries to the mixture and toss to coat. Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the mixture. Toss with a fork, scraping up from the bottom, until the dough starts to clump together. Knead the mixture together in the bowl until it comes together in a mass. It’s okay if there are a few stray bits and dry patches; the most important thing is to avoid overworking the dough.
