Description
These strawberry scones are soft, buttery, and filled with juicy bits of fresh fruit. Easy enough for weekday baking but elegant enough for brunch, they’re a one-bowl treat that’s equal parts cozy and craveable.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
⅔ cup heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
Optional: coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in cream and vanilla until dough just comes together.
Gently fold in diced strawberries.
Transfer dough to a floured surface and shape into an 8-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges.
Place scones on the baking sheet, brush with cream, and sprinkle with coarse sugar (if using).
Bake 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use firm, ripe strawberries and dice small to avoid excess moisture.
For extra flavor, add lemon zest or swap in blueberries.
Dough can be shaped and refrigerated overnight before baking.
