Description
These Strawberry Scones are a tender, buttery treat filled with juicy strawberries and topped with a vanilla glaze. Flaky on the outside and moist within, they make a beautiful addition to any breakfast or brunch table. Whether served fresh from the oven or saved for later, these scones deliver bakery-style results right from your own kitchen.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 heaping cup fresh strawberries, diced
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Add cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
5. Fold in the diced strawberries carefully to avoid overmixing.
6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick disc.
7. Cut into 8 wedges using a bench scraper or sharp knife.
8. Place the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush tops with a bit of cream.
9. Optional: Chill the scones for 15–20 minutes before baking to help maintain shape.
10. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown.
11. Let scones cool slightly on a wire rack.
12. Whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm scones. Allow glaze to set before serving.
Notes
Grating frozen butter into the flour is a quick way to ensure a flaky texture.
Use small pieces of strawberry to prevent soggy pockets in the dough.
For best results, don’t skip chilling the shaped dough before baking.
