Tender, buttery scones filled with fresh strawberries and finished with a cream glaze or sugar topping. These strawberries and cream scones are a lightly sweet, elegant treat perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • Optional: coarse sugar for topping
  • Optional glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1–2 tablespoons cream or milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the 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 with a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead gently, and pat into a 1-inch thick round.
  8. Slice into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  10. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze if desired.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest for a citrus twist.
  • Use half sour cream or buttermilk for a richer texture.
  • White chocolate chips make a decadent addition.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries can be used if fresh aren’t available.
  • Chill shaped dough before baking to prevent spreading.
