Strawberry White Chocolate Scones
Description
Strawberry White Chocolate Scones mix basic baking ingredients with chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips, producing a lightly golden baked good. The cold butter is grated and evenly distributed into the flour mixture, which helps create a tender, flaky texture. The scones are formed as drop mounds rather than cut shapes, simplifying preparation and giving them a rustic feel. Baking at 400°F until just golden ensures a soft interior while the lemon glaze offers a bright, tangy note to complement the sweet elements.
The strawberries provide moisture and fresh fruit flavor, while the white chocolate chips add a creamy sweetness as they melt into the dough. The scones can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and are suitable for serving at breakfast or as a lightly sweet snack with tea or coffee.
Chilling the dough before baking improves its texture and handling. Variations can include substituting other berries like raspberries or blueberries if strawberries are unavailable. The drop method for shaping allows for quicker preparation than traditional scone cutting.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 5 tablespoon unsalted butter cold, grated into small pieces
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup strawberries chopped
- ½ cup white chocolate chips or chunks
For the Glaze
- ¼ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 cups powdered sugar sifted
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and gently whisk together. Add the grated cold butter to the dry mixture and toss to combine so the butter is evenly distributed.
- Fold the strawberries into the dry mixture along with the white chocolate chips. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough. Chill the dough for at least 20 minutes - 4 hours for best baking results.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Form 12 medium sized mounds out of the dough. The size can vary depending on if you want to stretch the recipe to make more. Arrange them on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in the pre-heated oven for 16-20 minutes, or until the top just barely turned golden brown.
- Combine the lemon juice, powdered sugar and melted butter in a small bowl and whisk until no clumps remain. Once the scones have cooled, drizzle with the glaze and let cool.
Notes
- Use grated cold butter evenly mixed into flour to achieve a tender texture.
- Chill scone dough for 20 minutes up to 4 hours to improve baking results.
- Drop scone mounds offer an easy alternative to cutting and shaping dough.
- Other berries like raspberries or blueberries can replace strawberries if desired.
