Making the Scone Dough:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking pad; set aside.
2. Pour the 1 Cup of Heavy Cream in a freezer-proof container and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
3. Next, melt the butter in a microwave-proof container (I do this in 30 second increments until butter is fully melted); set aside to cool a little while you prepare the rest of the dough.
4. In a Large mixing bowl, whisk the GF Flour, Baking Powder and Soda, Sugar, Lemon Zest and Salt until thoroughly mixed.
5. Once the Heavy Cream has been in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, combine it with the melted Butter and stir with a fork until clumps appear (looks kind of like curdled milk).
6. Pour this Cream/Butter mix into the Flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until ingredients are well-combined.
7. Gently fold the halved-raspberries into the Scone dough until the berries are evenly distributed.
8. Dump the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form/pat it into a circle (about 12″-14″ in diameter); place in refrigerator for 15-45 minutes.
   
9. Meanwhile, place oven rack in the middle position of your oven and Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
10. Once the dough has been refrigerated for at least 15 minutes, remove from the freezer and cut into 6 or 8 “pie pieces” (triangles) – this works best with a really sharp knife that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking oil; separate and place the triangles evenly on the sheet, leaving at least 2″ between each one.
    
11. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes (remember, all ovens heat and cook at different rates, so keep an eye on your scones) or until they are golden brown around the edges.
12. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before icing.
    

Making the Lemon Glaze:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the Powdered Sugar, Half & Half and Lemon Juice; whisk until smooth and pourable (add more Powdered Sugar for a thicker consistency or add more Half & Half for a thinner consistency).
2. Enjoy!
   

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Line 1-2 baking sheets with Parchment Paper or baking mats; set aside.
3. Using a Stand Mixer, fitted with the Paddle Attachment, cream the Softened Butter, Powdered Sugar and Vanilla on the Medium setting (#4) for about 5 minutes, scraping down the inside of the bowl as needed; the mixture should be light in color and whipped.
4. Next, lower the speed of the Mixer to the lowest setting and gradually add the GF Flour, 1/2 cup at a time; Dough will be soft and smooth.
5. Place a large Star tip into a piping bag (or large plastic resealable bag) and transfer the dough to the piping bag.
6. Pipe the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets in Rosette or Circle designs/shapes. The dough does not spread very much, if at all, so you can pipe a lot of cookies per sheet – I usually pipe 20 – 2″ cookies per sheet.
7. Sprinkle each cookie with sprinkles/colored sugar, if desired.
8. Next, place the cookie sheets into the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to chill the dough – this helps them maintain their shape while cooking.
9. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
10. Once the cookies are finished chilling, bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn a light, golden brown.
11. Cool the cookies for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring them to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
12. Enjoy with a hot cup of cocoa, tea or coffee…or a glass of cold milk 😉

Making the Dough

1. Gather the ingredients.
   
2. In the bowl of your standing mixer, combine the warm water and yeast. Using the paddle attachment, stir for about 1 minute or until yeast is completely dissolved.
3. Next, add the mashed potatoes, salt, sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs and 2 cups of the flour. Mix well on low.
4. Change the paddle attachment to the dough hook. Add the remaining 2 cups of flour and mix on medium speed for about 5 minutes, scraping the sides as needed. Dough should be very sticky and stretchy when pulling dough between your fingers. Add a little bit of extra flour if dough doesn’t feel like it has enough body…wetter is better than dry!
   
5. Smooth the top of the dough with an oiled rubber spatula and cover bowl with a towel. Set in a warm area of your kitchen and let rise for about 1 1/2 – 2 hours. (Dough should double in size).
6. Spray 2 jelly roll pans with non-stick spray.
7. Divide the dough in half between the 2 jelly roll pans. Spray the dough and your hands with the non-stick spray and begin patting and stretching the dough until it fills each pan – alternate between the pans to allow the dough to relax and stretch on its own.
   
8. Spray the dough with non-stick spray and cover with plastic wrap. Set in a warm area to let rise once again, about 1 hour.
   

Making the topping

1. Place the oven racks in top third and bottom third of your oven. Preheat to 400 degrees.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix very well.
   

Putting it all Together

1. Once the dough in the pans has risen and become puffy, dimple the dough thoroughly using your greased fingers – do not worry if you puncture all the way through to the pan.
2. Next, brush the tops of the dough with 4 Tablespoons of the melted butter per pan. Butter should pool in the dimples that you created.
3. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture onto each of the cakes until you can no longer see the dough.
   
4. Place the cakes on the oven racks (one on the top rack and one on the bottom rack). Bake for 7 minutes.
5. Switch the cakes on the racks. Bake for another 7 minutes.
   
6. Let cakes cool in the pans for about 5 minutes.
   
7. Using a large spatula and your hands, transfer to cooling racks – this keeps the bottoms from getting soggy.
8. Serve warm or wrap very well in freeze-proof bags to freeze for up to 2 months.
9. Enjoy these yummy cakes throughout the holidays!
   
10. They make the PERFECT Holiday Gifts for friends and family 🙂
