Ingredients
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
2 cups (sifted)
sugar
1/3 cup
baking powder
2 teaspoons
salt
1/2 teaspoon
unsalted butter
5 tablespoons (chilled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
whipping cream
1 cup (plus 3 tablespoons for glaze)
raspberry jam
1/3 cup (not seedless)
powdered sugar
1/2 cup
rose water
1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3
Add the chilled, cut butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, mix until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
4
Gradually pour in 1 cup of the whipping cream, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. It should be slightly shaggy but manageable.
5
Turn the dough out onto a piece of lightly floured foil or parchment paper. Pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
6
Using a 3-inch round or heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out your scones. Gather the scraps and reshape them to cut additional scones without overworking the dough.
7
With a floured knife, carefully slice the scones horizontally to create a pocket. For heart shapes, start at the bottom tip when cutting.
8
Generously fill each cut pocket with about a teaspoon of raspberry jam, allowing it to peek out from the edges.
9
Transfer the filled scones to the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Bake for about 18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
10
Once baked, transfer the scones to a wire rack and allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.
11
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, rose water, and remaining 3 tablespoons of whipping cream until smooth and glossy.
12
Spread the glaze over the slightly warm scones and serve immediately, or allow them to cool to room temperature.
