half-and-half or milk

1. Heat oven to 305 degrees (yes..three zero five degrees).

2. Feather together first 6 ingredients with pastry cutter. Make well in dough and add beaten egg and buttermilk. Mix by hand. Add white chocolate chips and mix in by hand. Add raspberries and gently fold in by hand.

3. Make about a tennis ball size scone and place on cookie sheet with parchment paper. Bake for 35 minutes.

Try this with other frozen fruits. I've done blueberries before, which was also good.
