We're talking bakery quality Raspberry Scones in just 30 minutes with pantry ingredients!

The best raspberry scones recipe made with fresh raspberries cooling on a rack and drizzled with a simple glaze.

Raspberry Scones

These easy raspberry scones deliver bakery-style flakiness without the fuss. Grated frozen butter gets us those irresistible flakey layers, Greek yogurt keeps them moist and tender and the raspberries add sweet, jam-like pockets throughout. They're one of my favorite things to whip up for brunch, breakfast, or literally anytime I'm craving something a little sweet.

How to make Raspberry Scones:

Make the Dough: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Grate in frozen butter then combine it with the dry ingredients, using a pastry blender or fork. In a separate bowl, whisk yogurt, cream, egg, and vanilla then fold the wet mixture and fresh raspberries into the dry just until large clumps form; gently knead a few times to bring it together but try not to handle the dough too much.

Shape and Bake: Dust your counter with flour then gently shape the dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut dough into 8 equal wedges then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (180°C) for 16–18 minutes, until golden. Cool fresh raspberry scones for 10 minutes, then drizzle with glaze and serve! These are best enjoyed the same day they are prepared.
