Raspberry Chip Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raspberry chocolate chips
1 egg white, beaten

Preparation

Combine flour and sugar in a bowl.
Cut butter into mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
Add buttermilk and vanilla extract, then raspberry chocolate chips.
Stir until all ingredients are moistened and form a soft ball.
Turn out onto a generously floured surface and knead until it can be patted out into a circle 1/2-inch thick.
Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter; place on a baking sheet, brush tops of scones with egg white.
Bake in a preheated 400\u00b0 oven until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
Note: if you can't find raspberry chocolate chips, substitute raisins, dried cranberries or dried cherries.
