How to Make Peach & Raspberry Scones 

 

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients – all-purpose flour, almond flour, the ¼ cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the shredded butter and then pour the ¾ cup heavy cream until shaggy dough forms. It’s okay if the dough looks dry and lumpy. 

 

Put enough flour on your work surface to prevent dough from sticking. Knead dough on the bowl and then transfer on your work surface. Continue to knead the dough then pat into a rectangle then roll dough about the 10×14-inch size. Keep sides even by pushing the edges inwards using a pastry cutter. Sprinkle the lemon zest on the dough and then spread the mascarpone cheese on the ⅔ of the dough. Add the peaches and raspberries on top of the mascarpone cheese. Start folding the dough starting on the top, which is empty and the bottom third. Pat it down until you form a long rectangle.

 

Cut the dough in half and then divide each half into three. Cut each piece into triangles and then put them on a parchment paper on a baking sheet. Using the two tablespoons of heavy cream and granulated sugar, brush the top of the scones with cream and sprinkle with sugar.

 

Bake the scones for 20-30 minutes until they are light golden brown. Place them on a wire rack to cool them down.
