Perfect Strawberry Scones
These Strawberry Scones are a great way to use up the strawberries growing in your garden. Have you ever found that you wait ages for strawberries to ripen and then suddenly, they all seem to ripen at once! When you find yourself in a situation where you have more strawberries than you know what to do with, here’s an idea: make these strawberry scones!
Start by combining dry ingredients. Cut in the butter until you have a mixture that resembles coarse bread crumbs. Add cream and vanilla and bring the dough together in a ball. Be careful at every stage that you do not overwork the dough. Work quickly so the butter doesn’t get warm. Shape into scones and bake. As the scones cool, make a glaze by combining confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla.
To make Strawberry Scones, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Perfect Strawberry Scones
1 | Heat oven and line a baking sheet | |
Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. | ||
2 | Mix dry ingredients | 1 |
Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl. | ||
3 | Add butter | 1 |
Add 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch cubes and cut into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. | ||
4 | Bring dough together | 1 |
Whisk 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the cream into the bowl with the flour and bring together to make a dough ball. Do not overmix. | ||

7 | Cut into scones | 1 |
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 triangles. | ||
8 | Freeze briefly | 15 |
Place the scone triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to ensure the scones don’t spread while baking. | ||
9 | Brush with cream and sprinkle sugar | 1 |
Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved tablespoon of cream and sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar. | ||
10 | Bake | 23 |

Good recipe and simple thanks for the share will be making it a lot more often.
Nicely put together recipe wouldn't change a thing about it.
Yummy!! Had never made anything like this before it was good.
Loved these scones super tasty and fun to make too.
Perfect texture, mine were slightly soft on the inside which is why i enjoyed it.
Baked to perfection! Wouldn't mind getting fat off of this tasty dessert.
Hubby is a huge fan of this strawberry scone dessert thx.
Scones are the reason I live in this world still just sooo yummy.
I've never seen so much unsalted butter in a single recipe, why?
I actually served this with some strawberry iced tea that you guys have and used the extra puree as a glaze instead which was amazing.
My personal favorite strawberry recipe! Goes great along any drink and the crunchy taste is satisfying.
Sadly mine looked like it exploded haha strawberries weren't sweet at all anymore either.
The vanilla glaze was so perfect I actually started making it for all my cookies too haha.
Puffy pastry works wonders on this recipe.
Not the best thing ive taste on here kinda plain from what ive seen too but i'll give it another go maybe with some jam or icecream on the side.
Vegetarian desserts are everywhere on this website! Super happy to see it keep it up please maybe in time everyone will see how easy it is to go vegetarian :)
Cool recipe tried it out with my daughter and she was loving the smell from the oven can't wait to taste it.
Going to try this out with some cherries instead mm.
Easy to make just needed a few changes like brown sugar instead of turbinado and less heavy cream there is just too much.
I love it! Thanks for sharing!
