- Do not overmix; stop when the dough just holds together.
- Use fresh raspberries for best texture, or frozen if fresh are not available (do not thaw).
- Chill the cut scones for 10 minutes if they feel soft before baking.
variation (if any)
- Swap white chocolate for lemon glaze for a citrus twist.
- Use frozen raspberries if fresh are out of season—add them frozen and mix gently.
- Replace raspberries with blueberries or chopped strawberries for a change.
