Grandma's Strawberry Scones
Description
Grandma's Strawberry Scones recipe starts by mixing dry ingredients with cold butter grated in, creating a flaky texture. The dough is then combined with sour cream and vanilla for moisture and flavor. Rolling the dough out, spreading fresh diced strawberries evenly, then rolling into a log locks in fruit and distributes it through the scones when sliced. After cutting into triangles, they are brushed with egg and sprinkled with sugar to give a glossy, sweet crust.
Baked for 30 minutes at 350°F, these scones have a tender interior with bits of juicy strawberry, and a golden top that adds a bit of crunch. The cold butter and sour cream contribute to the scones’ moist, flaky consistency. The rolling method ensures the strawberries don’t clump, allowing balanced fruit spread.
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or jam. These scones are a nice choice for a comforting breakfast or a casual tea snack. They freeze well unbaked, allowing preparation ahead of time and fresh baking when wanted.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter extra cold, unsalted
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberry chopped, fresh
- 1 egg for the tops
- 1/4 cup sugar for the tops
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Note: If you have a sifter, use it to combine all the dry ingredients for an extra light scone.
- Grate the cold butter into the flour. Gently fold in the sour cream and vanilla extract until a cohesive dough forms.
- On a well floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangular shape. Spread the diced strawberries all over. Then, roll the dough into a log.
- Cut the log at 45° into triangular pieces. Place the scones onto a lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the whisked egg and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake the scones at 350°F for 30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
