Thanks! I’ll give that a try! Last night we had a dinner with several of our neighbors since we have a mix of new neighbors and ones who have lived in on our street for 50 years and I made your Smoky Potato Salad and the Caribbean Chicken from Date Night In and they were a hit!

Also, if making them on a hot day make sure all your ingredients are very cold. If the butter starts to melt throw the dough into the fridge. I usually freeze the scones before baking.

Sorry to hear this! I would fold in the raspberries next time. The dough should be very shaggy and not wet once it’s been pulsed. I usually end up folding the dough similar to how you would make puff pastry. The berries could be folded in at this stage.

I made these this past weekend on a very hot day and they flopped on me! Haha. I think I may have pulsed the raspberries a couple pulses too many because the dough was very wet and the scones came out dense and spongy. My three year old daughter who will eat anything even remotely sweet and who once mixed applesauce, non fat greek yogurt and lime juice and ate it with joy, would not eat these scones. Sadly most of it ended up in the trash. I’ll try them again and maybe pulse the raspberries literally two times. Hope you’re having a great week!

Hi! I am making these scones now! I followed the recipe exactly including how many pulses and all that, but I do have a question. My dough ended up really wet. So wet that I couldn’t cut the dough into scones. I just ended up putting the whole big wet circle into the oven as is. What can I do the next time I make these so that my dough is dry enough for me to cut it? Thank you!

I made these today and they were incredible! The texture is amazing. I always thought scones were complicated so when I made these, I was suspicious at how easy it was. Thanks for the recipe!

After similar thing happened to few other recipes, I finally figured out what the problem was.
It was the kosher salt I was using. Comparing to Diamond Crystal, which I use now, the No Name brand had much bigger and denser chunks of salt which I assume equaled more salt per teaspoon.

You could absolutely make it with less salt. I wonder too if you used salted butter?

This was my first attempt at making scones and the dough turned out perfect. I couldn’t believe how easy it was, however I found the salt overbearing and it completely killed the taste of raspberries which was really disappointing. I wonder of this could be made with less or without the salt.

Hi. I used your scone recipe. Only, I added fresh Blueberries that I had soaked for several hours in a little Balsamic Vinegar with a splash of Madagascar Pure Vanilla with Bourbon & a splash of real Maple syrup. Also, I added a pinch or 2 of Vietnamese Cinnamon to the cream before mixing it into the dough. The Scones were WONDERFUL… Thanks for the recipe. I love using my parmesean micro cheese grater to grate the butter for the dough. I love mixing the dough by hand… it seems like a form of meditation.

If anything, a garden where I could grow my own raspberries would be the sole reason to move into a new house.

Oh man, yes. I am feeling so clunky – like a toddler learning how to walk. But this space is our home for awhile so I’m excited to learn it and know it well.
