Strawberry Scones: Best Recipe for Flaky Results!

Print Recipe

These homemade strawberry scones are buttery, flaky, and bursting with fresh fruit flavor. Perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea, they feature a golden crust topped with crunchy turbinado sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
  8. Place scones on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with a beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  9. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter and egg are very cold to achieve the flakiest texture.
  • Do not overwork the dough; handle it as little as possible to keep it tender.
  • If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour your hands and the work surface.
  • Best served warm with clotted cream, butter, or jam.
