Mimi's Raspberry Scones

I've been testing scone recipes for the past few months, and this one is the best yet! I used whole wheat flour, frozen raspberries and added orange zest to the batter and sprinkled a bit of white sugar on top of the glaze. These are literally the best scones I've made%u2014and I've made a lot! I can't wait to make tweaks and try other berries and flours.

I followed the recipe as given, but I did sprinkle a little sugar on the tops of the scones after adding the egg wash. I really like the texture, and the scones cooked up to a beautiful golden brown. Although I liked the taste overall, I felt it needed to be sweeter. I'd definately make these again, but I'll try adding a bit more sugar to the recipe. Thanks for sharing.

A little extra butter doesn't hurt and try some orange zest too for a slightly added tang. Awesome Mimi, thanks.

I made this with half whole wheat flour, yogurt instead of cream, and blackberries. So far so good.

Excellent scones, and chock full of berries mmm! I used fresh picked and washed raspberries in these scones which at first seemed like it might have been a mistake (I had frozen raspberries in the freezer but opted for fresh as I had just picked them that morning!) The dough was a little sticky at first, but after moving it to the cutting board I pressed in extra flour around the disc until it firmed up. To my surprise, they came out perfect! Be sure to try one warm from the oven, so delicious. Still tasty the next day but a little more cakey after the berries have had time to rest. Thank you, Mimi! [Made for The All You Can Cook Buffet]

I loved these. I was concerned that the fresh raspberries would end up mush, but I folded carefully and they held up well. I followed the recipe to a "T" which is really rare for me. ;) I did sprinkle with a little sugar after the egg wash because I like the sweet crunch on top. I can't wait until I pick blueberries so I can try them again.

meh. :-/ they were okay, but kinda dry and bland. Maybe I'm not a fan of scones, and didn't realize it until I tried this recipe. They just tasted like a big giant lump of white flour to me!

These turned out really good, despite the fact that I should have followed directions better. The problem I had was with cutting them on the pan and not separating them before baking. (And that's not what the directions said to do, but of course I knew better. lol.) So I did have to bake them longer and they were still a little gushy in the middle. That's fine! Just cut out the middle! (Or follow directions!) I did use milk instead of cream and 1/2 raspberries and 1/2 blueberries because that was all the raspberries I had. Really good and my somewhat-picky 5yo said, "make these again, Mom." Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC tag game.

Your right Mimi, they ARE delicious! I made them the first time with raspberries, but have since made them with blueberries and blackberries too. My whole family looks forward to me making them, and I love them too! Thank you for another great breakfast recipe for my family and I!

After finding this recipe DH and I couldn't wait to try these, so I made them for Christmas morning. You want to talk about good, these are great!!! Hands down a new favorite around here!

Mmmmm....these are fabulous! I made them today, as I had some whipping cream to use up. I love the addition of the vanilla. I also did not use the egg wash and just sprinkled with turbinado sugar. I baked them in a 400 degree oven for about 18 minutes. Perfect and absolutely delicious! Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

Wow, these were FABULOUS! I was a bit doubtful when I made these because the doough was super crumbly...fear not! Just how it is! I used frozen raspberries for these, and I actually made them in my scone pan. The only thing I did not do, (I only had one egg...eeek!) was to omit the egg wash on the scones prior to baking. I simply sprinkled sugar on the tops before baking. The scones are packed with rasperries and the tops were nice and crunchy! Sweetness level, was just right ans I do highly reccomend the sprinkling of the sugar on the tops. Great for a Sunday breakfast right out of the oven! Thank you, Mimi in Maine for this outstanding recipe. I will repeat this again!

Gee Wizz Mimi...I didn't know I could bake! Or maybe it was your recipe...! Seriously I've made a living at cooking with the attitude that baking is the equivalent of chemistry in the kitchen. But since my DH loves baked goods I figured I would give these a shot and not only are they easy (they'd have to be for me to accomplish them) they are delish!! I added blueberries and white chocolate chips to them, and they were just great...I can't wait to try these in a million different ways!!
