Using basic and simple pantry ingredients, these flaky delicious scones are just amazing in flavor.

The results are fabulous and these can be made in less than 30 minutes.

Serve them as is or with a little red raspberry preserves with the tea of coffee and it's a winner.

Don't take my word, try them and watch them disappear quickly.

Tips

for a flaky dough make sure the butter is cold
use two forks or a pastry cutter for even distribution
if you grate the butter first it's easier to combine with flour
frozen raspberries that are wet and not recommended
add a pinch of cinnamon for a fall taste
add mini chocolate chips to the dough

Pin for later

Scone Lovers

If you've never had a scone before, they are much like a buttery flaky quick bread but so much better and quite addicting.

They're not dry like biscuits and the tender moist inside with berries just makes these the perfect combination.
