1/2 cup white whole wheat baking flour
3 tablespoons raw sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup butter, cold and cut into pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup blood orange juice or lemon juice or half of each
2 tablespoon ginger flavored sheep yogurt
zest of one blood orange, orange, or lemon (or combination)
extra sugar to sprinkle on scones before baking (I forgot to do this step - and they turned out great, but if you like a little extra sweetness this would be great)
For the Macerated Strawberries, Blackberries & Cream:
2 baskets large sweet strawberries
1 basket sweet blackberries
4 tablespoons raw sugar (regular sugar would work as well)
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 small container heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon raw sugar (or regular sugar)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2
Combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt in food processor and then add butter and pulse until it is the texture of very course sand. Add the heavy cream and pulse to combine. Then add in the oranges or lemon, yogurt, heavy cream and zest and pulse until dough forms into a sticky ball.
3
On a floured surface, press into a disk that is about 1/2 inch thick and 8 inches wide. [Optional: press course sugar on top]. Place on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper. Cut into 8 triangles and separate. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let cool.
4
Meanwhile, slice strawberries in 1/4 inch slices. Put in bowl with blackberries, 4 tablespoons sugar and Grand Marnier. Refrigerate for a least 1/2 an our and up to four hours.
5
Place heavy whipping cream into medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and vanilla. Whip with electric mixer until firm and forms stiff peaks.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
