STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Slice 1 cup of the strawberries and transfer to a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and mix well. Set aside.
• Halve or quarter the remaining strawberries and transfer to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper; mix well. Let stand until juicy, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup of the heavy cream with the sour cream until just smooth. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working over the bowl, grate the butter on the large holes of a box grater. Gently toss the butter with the dry ingredients, then stir in the sliced strawberries. Pour in the cream mixture and stir together until evenly moistened.
• Scrape the mixture onto a work surface and fold a few times until the dough comes together, then pat into a 2-inch-thick rectangle. Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 6 equal scones. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle each scone with sugar. Bake until puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, in another large bowl, whip the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream with a whisk or electric mixer until stiff. Split the scones horizontally and fill with the whipped cream and juicy strawberries.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE SCONES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Clean and hull out the centers of the strawberries then dice in small pieces; pour out onto paper towels to drain. Blot top side dry as well. Prepare a floured work surface. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425° F. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the cold cubed butter and shortening and cut it into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until it resembles crumbs. Add the strawberries and gently toss together to coat with the flour mixture. Add the Half and Half and gently fold together just until the dough comes together. Pour dough out onto the floured work surface. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and gently pat out into a circle about 3/4" thick. DO NOT KNEAD! Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut out 8 pie-shaped wedges as you would cut a pizza. (Clean the cutter or knife off with some flour, as needed) Transfer dough wedges to the lined baking sheet. Bake for 16-18 minutes. Place a piece of waxed paper, parchment paper, or foil underneath a wire cooling rack then transfer scones from the pan to the rack. Meanwhile, stir all the Glaze ingredients together until smooth and of semi-thick drizzling consistency, adding a little Half and Half at time until reached. Drizzle or spoon the Glaze over the scones as desired. (I piped it from a plastic baggie with corner snipped off.) Allow a few minutes for Glaze to set before serving.
