- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mixing
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the fresh raspberries gently.

- If using, sprinkle coarse sugar over the top of each scone.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden on top and cooked through.
