Deliciously soft and flaky scones bursting with fresh strawberry flavor, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Shape the dough into a disc about 1 inch thick.
- Cut into triangles or circles and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is very cold for that flaky texture. Don’t overmix the dough; it should be a bit lumpy.
