Ingredients
Scones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and cold
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, plus more for brushing
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- Glaze
- 1 - 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- slivered almonds, for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, white sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Once combined, cut in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Whisk together heavy cream, sour cream, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Stir in the raspberries and mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and pat into a 1/2" thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles.
- Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream, and bake for 15-16 minutes, or until scones are golden brown.
- While the scones are cooling, mix together powdered sugar (starting with 1 cup), heavy whipping cream (beginning with 2 Tbsp), and almond extract. If the glaze seems too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, add in the last Tbsp of heavy cream.
- Pour the glaze over the scones, sprinkle with almonds, and enjoy!
