Instructions

  1. SCONES:
  2. Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar and baking powder. Add the butter. Either mix with a pastry blender or rub butter in with fingertips until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup cream, mixing just until dough comes together (dough will appear somewhat shaggy). Turn dough out onto foil and pat it to 1/2" thick.
  4. With a 3" round or heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out scones. Gather scraps and reshape to 1/2" thickness. Cut rest of scones, using as much of the dough as possible without re-shaping it.
  5. With a floured knife, cut scones horizontally to make a pocket for the jam (if you used a heart cutter, start at the bottom point of the heart to cut). Fill each cut scone with a generous teaspoon of raspberry jam (jam will be visible around the edges).
  6. Transfer filled scones to a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown (about 18 minutes). Transfer baked scones to a wire rack to cool just until slightly warm.
  7. GLAZE:
  8. While scones are cooling, mix powdered sugar, rosewater and remaining 3 tbs of cream until smooth. Spread glaze over slightly warm scones. Serve immediately, or at room temperature.
