Fresh strawberry scones are tender, buttery pastries filled with juicy strawberries and topped with a light glaze. These scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for coating strawberries)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together cream, egg, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Toss strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the dough.
  6. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle, and cut into 8 wedges.
  7. Place scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with a bit of cream.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
  9. Mix powdered sugar with milk to make glaze and drizzle over cooled scones.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter for the flakiest scones.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
  • You can substitute blueberries or raspberries if desired.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with clotted cream or jam.
