Scones, traditionally a British bake, have become a beloved treat all around the world. Perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast or a charming afternoon tea, scones can be sweet or savory. These Raspberry Scones are tender, buttery, and bursting with flavor, using fresh raspberries for a delightful twist. This specific recipe pays homage to the classic by incorporating raspberries, brightening the flavors and adding a lovely texture contrast that pairs exquisitely with the fluffy interior of traditional scones.

Raspberry Scones are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, accompanied by a dollop of clotted cream or a smear of unsalted butter. For an afternoon tea, serve them alongside other small pastries and a selection of teas. If you’re enjoying them for breakfast, a cup of robust coffee or a delicate herbal tea makes a perfect companion. These scones can also be a delightful dessert when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of fresh raspberry coulis.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
