Strawberry Scones on a cutting board.

Strawberry Scones

Desserts & Drinks
Strawberry Scones are crisp and golden on the outside, tender in the center, and full of sweet strawberry pieces for a pop of fruity flavor in each bite. Topped with a sweet, vanilla glaze, they’re easy to make and perfect for breakfasts, brunches, or snacks, especially during spring. We're so obsessed with the perfect texture and flavor of these scones!

Equipment

  • 3 Large Bowls
  • 1 Sheet Pan
  • 1 Pastry Cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter cold, grated or cut into small cubes
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1 Tablespoon melted butter to brush the tops with

Glaze:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together.
  • Add the cold grated (or chopped) butter to the dry ingredients and toss together until the butter is coated in flour. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter with the dry ingredients until small pea-sized pieces form.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, sour cream and egg until combined.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until mostly combined.
  • Fold in the strawberries.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place on a floured surface.
  • Flatten into an 8-10 inch circle and slice into 8 wedges.
  • Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly brush with the 1 Tablespoon of melted butter.
  • Bake for 23-25 minutes (or until the tops are golden).
  • While scones are baking, whisk the glaze ingredients together until smooth.
  • Let the scones cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over them.

Notes

  • I recommend chopping the strawberries quite small, so they get evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • You can also brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream or whole milk if you don’t have an extra tablespoon of butter.
