Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour

Notes
Based on some scones a friend of mine devised in a dream.
For the filling recipe, see my raspberry dulce de leche, or improvise another thick raspberry caramel.
For the raspberry juice, I puréed a bunch of raspberries and strained the seeds out of it.
Directions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment and preheat your oven to 425ºF.
 - In a work bowl, whist together flour, baking powder, and salt.
 - Cut in flour until the mixture resembles wet sand. A few small pieces of butter may remain.
 - Stir in sugar, then add raspberry juice and just enough milk for the whole thing to come together into a cohesive dough.
 - Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured cutting board and divide in half. Form each half into a disk, and divide each disk into eight triangular scones.
 - Arrange the scones on the prepared sheet pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops have just started to dry out an darken a bit and the bottoms are a pale golden around the edges.
 - Cool completely, then split each scone in half. Spread a bit of the filling on the bottom halves, sprinkle a little bit of the coarse sea salt over the filling, then replace the tops. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
