Fresh Raspberry Scones

Queen uh Cuisine's Note:

This is my son's recipe (Jon). He made it in his Foods and Nutrition class in High School. So... as soon as he came home from school that day he said" Mom, do we have flour, cream, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter" I said uummm yeah, and he went to town in the kitchen making these. They were so good and when they were done YYuuummmmm...they looked quite easy to make.

mmmmm good!!! EXACTLY what I was looking for! I used 1/2 cup raspberries AND 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in the same recipe. DELICIOUS AND EASY!!! I've already made these 3 times since finding the recipe and will continue to make them. Thanks for a great, fast, easy recipe!!!

YUM!! These were very good and super easy to make, I used about 1 cup of blackberries. I cut into 8 pieces as recommeded, but next time I will make them a little smaller. Thanks for sharing!

These scones are SUPER easy and taste great too. Made them with fresh rasberries (used one small container) and it was perfect. Plan to drizzle them with dark chocolate ganache next time.
