Raspberry and white chocolate scones FAQ:

How long do I bake raspberry and white chocolate scones?

Bake the scones in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

What should the doneness look like for these scones?

The scones should be golden brown on the outside and light in color on the inside. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, indicating they are fully baked.

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to gently fold them in to prevent the dough from becoming too wet. They may also add a little more moisture to the dough.

How should I store leftover scones?

Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

What can I substitute for self-raising flour?

You can use all-purpose flour combined with baking powder. For every cup of self-raising flour, use about 1 cup of all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Cooking Tips:

- Ensure your self-raising flour is fresh and sift it before mixing to avoid lumps and achieve a lighter texture.

- When incorporating the lemonade and cream, mix only until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough scones.

- Use fresh, firm raspberries to avoid excess moisture in the dough.

- Chop the white chocolate into small chunks to ensure even distribution throughout the scones.

- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the scones from sticking.

- Handle the dough gently and lightly flour your hands and work surface to prevent sticking when shaping the scones.

- For an added touch, brush the tops of the scones with a little extra cream before baking for a golden finish.
