Description

These tender and flaky strawberry scones are filled with fresh strawberries and have a lightly sweet, buttery flavor perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round.
  8. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  10. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter for the flakiest texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half if needed.
