Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones
Description
The Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones start with a base of all-purpose flour mixed with sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cold, cubed unsalted butter is cut into the flour until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs, contributing to the scones’ flaky texture. A mixture of buttermilk and egg is added and gently combined, followed by the addition of quartered fresh strawberries and chocolate chips for bursts of sweet and tart flavors.
After mixing, the dough is turned onto a floured surface and formed into a approximately 10-inch round disk; this can be adjusted in thickness to preference. It is then cut into eight triangles and placed on a prepared baking sheet. Brushing with buttermilk and optionally sprinkling sugar creates a slight glaze and texture contrast after baking.
Baked at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes, the scones develop a golden crust while maintaining a soft interior. These scones can be made with frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable, and they freeze well for up to a month, allowing for easy storage and future enjoyment.

- Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix well using a fork or wooden spoon.
- Add the strawberries and chocolate chips to the dough and roughly mix everything together until well incorporated.
- Turn the dough over onto a floured surface, and form the dough into a round disk. Cut the dough into 8 triangles.
