Strawberry Scones
This recipe for Strawberry Scones is one of my favorites. I love adding fruit to baked treats and the fresh strawberries are a fantastic addition here. I’ve made them many times at the request of family members and friends. If you like scones, I promise this is an easy recipe to make at home.

Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ ticks unsalted butter very cold and cut into tiny pieces
- ¾ cup heavy cream plus some for brushing
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries hulled and chopped small
Glaze:
- ½ cup icing sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar salt, baking powder and whisk.
- Add the cubes of butter into the bowl and work it into the mixture until most of the butter chunks are incorporate into the flour (note: I find it easier to do with my hands, using gloves, but you can use a pastry cutter).
- In a small bowl lightly beat the heavy cream and egg until combined, then pour it into the larger bowl with the flour and butter mixture. Use a spatula to mix it all together (note: it might seem like there is not enough to moisten it all, but it will stick during the next step).
- Fold in the strawberries in 2 batches to ensure an even mix (note: some might break up or mash a bit, but that is okay).
- On a clean and floured surface, transfer the dough and knead for a minute into a ball. Lift and lightly flour one more time, then flatten into a circle that is 1 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 8 (or 10) wedges and carefully transfer them to a parchment lined baking sheet (or 2 depending on the size) placing them 2” apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes then preheat oven to 400F.
- Lightly brush each scone with some heavy cream bake for 16-18 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Allow scones to cool baking sheet slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to make the glaze.
- In a small bowl, whisk together icing sugar and heavy cream (start with 2 tablespoons until you achieve your desire consistency) then drizzle on scones.

Notes
- Use cold butter: Ensure that the butter is very cold so the scones remain flaky.
- Don’t over mix the dough: Only mix the dough until all of the ingredients are mixed. Otherwise, your scones will become dense.
- Chill the scones: I recommend placing the mixed and cut scone dough into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking for the best flavor and texture.
