There is nothing quite like a warm scone to start your morning. These strawberry scones have a wonderful texture that is crispy on the edges and soft on the inside, making them a favorite for brunch or a quiet afternoon tea break.

I recommend using cold butter directly from the fridge. Working quickly keeps the butter from melting before the scones go into the oven, which is the secret to getting those beautiful flaky layers in every bite.

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced small
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
4
Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
5
In a separate small bowl, whisk the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla together. Pour this into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
6
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a circle about one inch thick. Cut the dough into eight wedges.
7
Place the wedges on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
8
Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Drizzle this glaze over the warm scones before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for two days. You can also freeze the unbaked scone wedges and pop them directly into the oven when you want a fresh treat, just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
