Ingredients
Strawberry Scone Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (8 Tbsp or 1 stick), chilled and diced
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 1 Tbsp milk to brush the top
- 1/2 Tbsp course sugar to sprinkle the top
Ingredients for Easy Scone Glaze:
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp milk
Instructions
How to Make Strawberry Scones:
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, 3 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1/2 cup diced butter and cut it into flour using pastry blender until mixture resembles pea-sized coarse crumbs. Gently toss in chopped strawberries. Make an indentation in the center and set the bowl aside.
- In a second small mixing bowl, beat 1 egg with a fork then stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream. Add the egg mixture to flour mixture and use a large spoon to gently stir just until moistened. Do not over-mix.
- Place dough onto generously floured sheet of parchment paper. Pull dough together and shape it into a 3/4-inch-thick circle. Cut into 12 equal wedges and pull them apart slightly (at least 1/2" apart).
- Brush wedges with 1 Tbsp milk, sprinkle with coarse sugar. Slide the parchment paper with scones onto a baking sheet and bake at 400˚F for 15-16 min, or until puffed and golden.
