2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
dash salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut in pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
1 Tbsp sugar
Preheat oven to 400. With pastry blender, cut together five ingredients till pea-size chunks form. In another bowl whisk together buttermilk and egg. Mix together wet and dry ingredients just until blended. If it's too thick add a little milk. Fold in the raspberries. On parchment-paper lined pans, pat dough into two circles approximately 3/4" thick and 7" across. Sprinkle with 1Tbsp sugar. Score each circle into 8 wedges with a knife. Bake until golden brown, 15 - 18 minutes. Serve warm with butter or sour cream sweetened with icing sugar and a splash of vanilla.

Love your new background! It looks good on my computer, at least! These scones look good, too. Wish we HAD fresh raspberries to put in 'em! But like rhubarb, can't grow them here. However, we are up to our necks in Okra just about now...
Looks good! Both the background and the scones!
I'm convinced okra would NOT be a good choice in these scones, but don't you think about ANY kind of fruit would work? Blueberries, rhubarb (sorry!) peach, apricot, cherries...now THAT would be yummy! Cherries...I'll have to try that. Add some almond flavoring then...
