Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 F

- Place cut dough on a baking sheet. Use a watermelon scoop or small round spoon to press in a middle of each cut though to make a half hole for raspberry jam
- Mix together jam and the remaining vanilla extract.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of jam into a hole. Don't over put it otherwise it will run all over a scone.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown.
