  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the lemon zest. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in the raspberries.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a disc about 0.75 inches thick.
  • Cut the disc into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper.
  • Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Serve warm with clotted cream or your favorite jam. A simple glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice can also be drizzled on top.
