Delightful strawberry scones that are flaky and bursting with fresh strawberries, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon tea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg (slightly beaten)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for working with dough)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the buttermilk and egg in a large measuring pitcher. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and sea salt on low speed.
  3. Add cold butter and mix on medium speed until butter breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
  4. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly drizzle in the buttermilk and egg mixture until dough just comes together.
  5. Fold in chopped strawberries gently.
  6. Transfer dough to a floured surface and pat/roll out into a 1-inch thick round. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. After chilling, cut dough into 8 wedges and place on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice (or milk) for glaze and drizzle over cooled scones. Let set for about an hour.

Notes

For an extra touch, sprinkle sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust. Chilling the dough is essential for flaky texture.
