Why These Scones Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd cup granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd cup cold unsalted butter, cubed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u2154 cup heavy cream (plus more for brushing)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 large egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Optional: coarse sugar for topping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Glaze (optional):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • \u00bd cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\u20132 tablespoons milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u00bd teaspoon vanilla or lemon juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      1. Preheat and Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. Mix Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Add Wet Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, egg, and vanilla. Pour into the flour mixture and stir gently until dough begins to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      4. Add the Strawberries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Fold in the diced strawberries carefully to avoid overmixing. The dough will be sticky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5. Shape and Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Bake for 16\u201320 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      6. Glaze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Once scones have cooled slightly, whisk together glaze ingredients and drizzle over the tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Tips for Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Use cold butter<\/strong> and handle the dough gently to keep the scones flaky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • If the dough is too sticky to shape, chill it for 10\u201315 minutes before cutting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Pair with hot coffee, iced tea, or lemonade<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Serve with clotted cream or whipped butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the toaster oven<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
