These fluffy strawberry cream scones are a quick and easy breakfast treat featuring tender crumb and juicy fresh strawberries, perfect for brunch or a cozy morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup (180ml) heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for brushing tops)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry mixture and gently stir until the dough just begins to come together. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently fold in diced fresh strawberries, being careful not to mash them.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick round about 8 inches wide.
  7. Cut the round into 8 equal wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Lightly brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold to ensure flaky layers. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep scones tender. Pat strawberries dry if they release too much juice to prevent soggy dough. Chilling dough for 10 minutes before shaping can improve handling and rise.
