Indulge in the perfect blend of tangy raspberries and flaky sourdough with these Sourdough Raspberry Scones. Ideal for breakfast or a mid-day treat, these scones offer a delightful fruity twist. Fresh from the oven and sprinkled with sugar, they promise a bright start to your day.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

  • 3/4 cup sourdough starter

  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons milk (for brushing)

  • Extra sugar for sprinkling

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a big mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, whisking until well blended.
  • Add the cold butter, cutting it in until the mixture forms small, coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, mix sourdough starter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in raspberries.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
  • Place scones on the prepared baking sheet, brush with milk, and sprinkle with extra sugar.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Moderate in sugar, these scones are a delightful treat but should be enjoyed in moderation to avoid excessive sugar intake.
