Raspberry Honey Scones
Raspberry honey scones are a special and delicious pastry that combines the natural sweetness of honey with the freshness of raspberries. This pastry is especially popular in the summer months when raspberries are in season, but it can also be made with frozen raspberries. The honey not only adds flavor but also helps maintain the scones' softness, while the raspberries provide a fresh, fruity taste. It's important to gently mix the raspberries into the dough so they don't completely break down, giving the scone a special texture. For an even more delicious treat, drizzle with a little honey or dust with powdered sugar when serving!

Preparation Steps
1
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla sugar, then mix well.
2
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour. Using your fingertips, quickly rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Warm the honey slightly to make it more liquid, then add the powdered sugar and egg. Mix thoroughly.
4
Gently crush the fresh raspberries with a fork, then add them to the honey mixture and mix well.
5
Add the honey-raspberry mixture and sour cream to the flour mixture. Quickly knead the dough together. Be careful not to over-knead, as this will prevent the scones from being light and tender.
6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7
On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1.5 cm. Use a cookie cutter or a scone cutter to cut out the scones.
8
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let the scones cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a little honey. They are delicious fresh or slightly warm!
