Description

Lemon Raspberry Scones are a refreshing plant-based treat combining fluffy, tender scones with bright lemon zest and juicy fresh raspberries. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, they offer a zesty, sweet flavor profile with a light, flaky texture made from simple, natural ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (natural flavoring)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled
  • 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural flavoring)

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Optional

  • For glaze: 2 tablespoons lemon juice (natural flavoring)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and lemon zest (natural flavoring) to evenly distribute the rising agents and flavors.
  2. Cut in Plant-Based Butter: Use chilled plant-based butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, creating flaky layers in the scones.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Fresh Raspberries: Stir in vanilla extract (natural flavoring) and non-dairy milk. Gently fold in fresh raspberries carefully to maintain their shape without overmixing, ensuring tender scones.
  4. Shape and Cut the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges with a sharp knife or scone cutter, keeping raspberries intact.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for approximately 18-22 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Optional Glaze or Serve Plain: If desired, mix lemon juice (natural flavoring), powdered sugar, and natural gelling agent to make a glaze. Brush this on warm scones for extra shine and tang. Otherwise, serve plain.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold to ensure a flaky, tender texture.
  • Handle dough gently without overmixing to avoid tough scones.
  • Do not overfill with raspberries to prevent color bleeding and sogginess.
  • Use fresh raspberries for best flavor and moisture.
  • Preheat oven properly for a golden crust and light interior.
