I’m a lover of all things raspberry, all things cream cheese, and all things scone. Today, I’ve put all three together and created possibly the most delicious, addicting, and just simply amazing combination of all time.
These cream cheese scones are a new breakfast favorite. Don’t let making scones intimidate you, if I can make them, so can you.
I have always thought that scones would be so hard to make. I love getting them at bakeries, and I have had the deep fried scones and even made those before, but for some reason, these kind of scones terrified me.
I decided to just give them a shot, and they were actually extremely easy. I have never been successful at making bread or really any dough recipes, but this is one I feel super confident about, because they are so simple.
what does it mean by cutting butter into flour?
Cutting butter into flour, is a trick that bakers or pastry makers use, to really combine the flour and butter. You don’t want melted butter, when dealing with scones.
You want it cold/slightly softened to room temperature.
For cutting butter, here is what I recommend doing.
- I usually use a hand mixer, and pulse the butter and flour. You don’t want them completely combined, but just have the butter in little chunks. The flour will appear to have more, than the butter.
- Using a stick of frozen butter and a cheese grater, grate the cheese over the dry ingredients.
- You could also take two sharp knifes, one in both hands, and slice the butter across each other. For a better reference and visual of this, watch this clip, below:

how many does this recipe make?
This recipe makes about 8 regular size scones. You could make them a little smaller, but let’s be honest, the more scone you get to eat, the better.

Raspberry Cream Cheese Scones Recipe
Ingredients
Scones:
- 6 Tablespoons butter, cold and unsalted
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream, + 1 Tablespoon
- 6 ounces raspberries, fresh or frozen
Cream cheese glaze:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients. Flour, Baking Powder, Sugar, and Salt.
- Gently cut in butter with knives, or use a pastry machine until only a few lumps of butter remain. (See link below for instructional video)
- Pour 1 cup heavy cream over mixture and stir gently with rubber spatula just until dough begins to form. Be careful not to over mix during this step.
- Gently fold in raspberries, they will get a little smashed but that is okay!
- Over lightly floured surface, knead dough a few times until you can form a ball.
- Flatten out dough into 8 inch circle, and cut into even triangles. We got 8 scones (see picture).
- Lay triangles of dough flat on cookie sheet.
- Brush the top of each scone with remaining Heavy Cream.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until scones begin turning golden brown around the edges.
- While scones cool, make cream cheese glaze by placing all ingredients in a bowl and beating until well combined.
- Drizzle Cream Cheese Glaze over scones and serve warm.

I have a trick to working in butter with scones that is simple and easy. First, put the butter in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Then, use a grater(small holed) and grate over the dry ingredients you are going to “cut” it into. The work is already mostly done by the grater, so all you have to do at that point is use a fork and make the butter a little smaller,if desired, and mix it in with the dry ingredients.
I’m excited to try these scones!
These look so delicious! I’ve never made scones, but I need to try this recipe!
The scones have a delicious flavor and were very simple to make, but I wasn’t crazy about the glaze. I had a hard time getting it to come together. I think I’ll just do a powdered sugar glaze next time. I’ll make these again!
What would be good if you do not have heavy cream???
There are substitutes you can use for heavy whipping cream in some recipes, but in scones I wouldn’t recommend subbing in other ingredients. We have only made these using the heavy cream.
