Jamie Oliver Strawberry Scones Recipe

Ingredients

• All-Purpose Flour – 4 cups all-purpose flour
• Flour – 1 tablespoon extra flour for coating the strawberries
• Sugar – 2 tablespoons (plus 1 tablespoon extra for sprinkling) sugar
• Baking Powder – 2 tablespoons baking powder
• Salt – 2 teaspoons salt
• Unsalted Butter, Diced – 3/4 pound cold unsalted butter
• Eggs – 4 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
• Heavy Cream – 1 cup cold heavy cream
• Strawberries – 3/4 cup small dried strawberry, diced
• Egg – 1 egg beaten with water or milk, for egg wash

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment
3. Blend these ingredients together.
4. Add the cold butter to the mixture and operate the mixer at its lowest speed.
5. Continue mixing until the butter breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
6. Combine the eggs and heavy cream in a separate container.
7. Pour this egg and cream mixture into the flour and butter mixture.
8. Mix everything together until it’s just blended.
9. Toss the strawberries in a little flour to coat them lightly, then
10. Add them to the dough and gently mix, but don’t overdo it. The dough might be a tad sticky.
11. Transfer the dough onto a generously floured surface. Make sure it’s well combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin, and roll the dough until it reaches a thickness of 3/4-inch.  You should be able to see small bits of butter within the dough.
12. To shape the dough. Use a 4-inch plain or fluted cutter to cut it into squares. Afterward, cut these squares in half diagonally to create triangles. Place these triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
13. Brush the tops of the triangles with egg wash, then sprinkle them with sugar.
14. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they’re ready when the outsides turn crisp and the insides are thoroughly baked.

Tips

• Keep your butter and cream cold; this helps create flaky, tender scones.
• Gently fold the diced dried strawberries into the dough to evenly distribute them.
• Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Variations

• Try fresh strawberries instead of dried ones for a burst of juiciness.
• Add a touch of lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
• Swap out the dried strawberries for other dried fruits like cranberries or blueberries.

How to serve Strawberry Scones?

Serve these Strawberry Scones fresh out of the oven with a side of clotted cream and strawberry jam for a classic British treat. Alternatively, enjoy them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey. Pair with your favorite hot beverage, and savor the delightful flavors of Ina Garten’s creation.
