Description
Soft, buttery, and filled with juicy strawberries, these scones are the ultimate treat for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (swap half for whole wheat if preferred)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or use yogurt for a lighter texture)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for a perfect golden crust.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly.
- Gently stir in the strawberries, being careful not to crush them.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, gently knead, and shape into a 1-inch thick round.
- Cut into wedges or use a round cutter, and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden on top. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a citrusy twist, add a bit of lemon zest to the dough. These freeze beautifully, just reheat when ready to enjoy. Want something different? Try the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos for a fun take on strawberry desserts.
