When the farmers market is open, often I’ll treat us to a raspberry white chocolate scone on Saturday mornings. They’re sweet, but not too sweet and perfect for a quick breakfast before washing the veggies that came from the market. I’ve always wanted to make my own version and I’ve finally done it. These are actually not very similar to the scones I get at the farmers market, which are more like a drop scone with trails of raspberry making the dough a touch blue. I saw this technique of rolling the scones over at The Vanilla Bean Blog, a method America’s Test Kitchen created. It makes the prettiest scones. I used my favorite buttermilk scone recipe, though, and the toppings were based on the scones from the farmers market.
I took lots of photos so you can see the technique in action. It’s actually very simple, but I do recommend a ruler or measured surface to get the scones the same size.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and this can be your Saturday treat, too.
Beauties!
You’re sweet! Thanks!
I never really make scones.. probably cause I seem to be obsessed with biscuits.. My daughter has been wanting to make some and I think these would be killer!
Your comment reminds me that I need more biscuits in my life! It makes my heart happy to think of you and your daughter baking together 🙂
Most delicious scones ever?? Yup, I’m pretty sure these are them!! They’re at least the prettiest 🙂
You’re so kind! Thanks, Sues!
Ahhh, I made my first scone while living in Ann Arbor. Scones will ALWAYS remind me of Michigan. These look so beautiful!
I didn’t know you lived in Ann Arbor! There’s just something about a good scone, right? Thank you, Whitney!
Loving (and definitely stealing) your technique of cutting for perfectly portioned, very pretty scones. We have a ton of pom arils that need using soon, and I think they’d stand in well for the raspberries. Do you?
That’s a great idea, Heather! I’m sure they’ll be so pretty, too!
These look absolutely dreamy! I can’t wait to try making some…I’m sure they’ll be the perfect way to bring cheeriness to a gray winter day 🙂
It’s true! Winter citrus and colorful food definitely gets me through the coldest gray days. Thank you!
Finally got around to making these and they were awesome! I was going to take a picture and put it up on Instagram so you could see but they disappeared before I ever had a chance.
So happy to hear that, Kate!
