Description
Delicious lemon glazed strawberry scones, perfect for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (for glaze)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for glaze)
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Add cubed cold butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries to avoid crushing them.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a 1-inch thick round disc. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each scone wedge with a small amount of heavy cream.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sifted powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until the mixture reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled scones and serve with fresh mixed berries.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is chilled for the best scone texture.
- Use fresh strawberries for optimal flavor.
- The scones can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
