Strawberry Cream Scone Recipe

Scones haven’t always been a favorite of mine, but ever since making Cream Scones a few months back, things have changed considerably. For one thing I’ve realized that a scone is basically a sweet biscuit of sorts, and what Southern born and raised girl doesn’t like a biscuit, plus a little bit of sweet? That’s a no-brainer in my book.

So since making the very perfect Cream Scone from Ree’s recipe, I’ve played with a couple of renditions of my own. Scones are easy to adapt to a variety of flavors.

This Strawberry Cream Scone Recipe for one is a real winner. I originally planned on topping it with a drizzling of a vanilla icing or something of the sort, but after a bite, or several, I decided that they were just fine naked. They have just enough sweetness to not need anything else. Just enough is always a good thing.

The perfectly sweet cream scones for serving with coffee or tea.

Ingredients

  • 3 2/3 + 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped/sliced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
  2. Sift together 3 2/3 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl.
  3. Cut the butter pieces into the flour.
  4. Whisk together the cream, egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Drizzle cream mixture into flour mixture; stir gently with a fork until barely combined. Mix should be crumbly, but if it’s too crumbly to work with, splash in a small amount of heavy cream.
  6. Fold in strawberries. (Depending on juiciness of strawberries, up to 1/4 cups of extra flour may need to be added if dough is too wet to form into a rectangle. Add additional flour if necessary, and/or place dough in refrigerator for about 15 to firm up a bit.)
  7. Turn dough onto a floured surface and lightly press it together until it forms a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle about ½ inch to ¾ inch thick. Use your hands to help with the forming if necessary.
  8. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut into a symmetrical rectangle, then cut the rectangle into 12 symmetrical squares/rectangles. Next, cut each square/rectangle in half diagonally, to form 24 smaller triangles (or just cut into whatever shape you want).
  9. Transfer to a parchment or baking mat-lined cookie sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until barely golden brown.
