I knew I found a winner when I tasted these Strawberry Scones. This recipe makes 12 scones and each is perfect; billowy, soft, crumbly and studded with a generous amount of fresh strawberries, then drizzled with a simple sweet glaze.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (8 Tbsp or 1 stick) unsalted butter ((chilled and diced))
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream ((chilled))
1 Tbsp milk (to brush the top)
1/2 Tbsp course sugar (to sprinkle the top)
2/3 cup Confectioners (Powdered) sugar
1 Tbsp Milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a large bowl, stir together 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp baking powder and 1/4 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 bowl aside.
  • In a second small mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs 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 and bake at 400˚F for 15-16 min, or until puffed and golden.
  • Stir together 2/3 cup powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp milk. Easily thicken glaze by adding more powdered sugar and thin it out with more milk. Drizzle glaze over scones and serve scones warm or at room temperature.

Time 56m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup ripe strawberries - cleaned, hulled and diced
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup light cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place diced strawberries on paper towels to absorb liquid. Combine the cream with the vanilla extract in a small pitcher, and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and lemon zest together in a mixing bowl. Cut the cold butter into chunks and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Stir in strawberries, and gently toss ingredients. Make a hole in the middle of the flour mixture; pour cream mixture into the hole. Quickly stir dough together until just blended. Allow dough to rest 2 minutes.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; and knead until smooth and satiny, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet and pat into an 8-inch round. Use a serrated knife to cut the round into 8 wedge-shaped pieces. Separate wedges on the baking sheet, leaving at least 1/2 inch space between each.
  • Bake in preheated oven until tops are light brown and crusty, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool 20 minutes before serving.
