Strawberry Scones
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 8-inch circle and cut into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar if desired.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Strawberry scones have a rich history dating back to 16th century Scotland, where they were first made with oats and griddle-baked. Over time, the recipe evolved to include flour, butter, sugar, and fresh strawberries. Today, these delightful treats are enjoyed worldwide, especially in the UK and the US. Renowned chefs like Mary Berry and Ina Garten have popularized their own versions of this classic pastry. The key to perfect strawberry scones lies in using ripe, juicy strawberries and handling the dough with care to achieve a light, flaky texture. For a twist, some bakers add a hint of lemon zest or drizzle with a sweet glaze. In London, the best strawberry scones can be found at the iconic Fortnum & Mason, while in New York City, the scones at Alice's Tea Cup are a must-try. Whether enjoyed with clotted cream and jam or simply on their own, strawberry scones are a delightful indulgence for any time of day.
