Bake up a bit of summer flavor with this raspberry scone recipe!
The addition of cooked rice makes these raspberry scones a little more nutrient dense while also staying crunchy on the outside and a bit moist on the inside.
Leftover Rice
Would I make a pot of rice just to make these scones? Probably not. I would however, make extra rice with dinner tonight so that I could bake the scones tomorrow.
The rice does give the scone a slightly different texture than the more traditional dry scones. This is not at all a bad thing but might not be the best recipe for someone who is extremely particular about their scones.
Vegan Options
Use a plant based margarine instead of butter and a plant based milk instead of cow’s milk. A dairy-free chocolate chip can easily complete the scones.
Try Different Berries
The recipe would likely be just as amazing with any berry you have on hand. Keep small berries whole, chop larger berries like strawberries.
Optional Toppings
These are sweet enough on their own in my opinion but there are options to change them up.
Sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar over the top prior to baking for extra sweetness and crunch.
Drizzle the cooled scones with a bit of a powdered sugar glaze, if desired.
