These tender, buttery scones are infused with the sweet essence of ripe strawberries, making them a perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet afternoon tea. It's a delicious way to serve fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries in season and an addition to special occasions like Mother's Day.

These scones require a handful of simple ingredients, including all-purpose flour, cold diced butter, lightly beaten eggs, heavy cream, and a generous addition of small-diced dried strawberries.

Description

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon flour for coating strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar plus additional for sprinkling
2 tablespoons baking powder

2 teaspoons salt
¾ pound cold unsalted butter diced
4 extra-large eggs lightly beaten

1 cup cold heavy cream
¾ cup dried strawberries small-diced
1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water or milk for egg wash

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment
Blend these ingredients together.

Add the cold butter to the mixture and operate the mixer at its lowest speed.
Continue mixing until the butter breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
Combine the eggs and heavy cream in a separate container.

Pour this egg and cream mixture into the flour and butter mixture.
Mix everything together until it's just blended.
Toss the strawberries in a little flour to coat them lightly, then

Add them to the dough and gently mix, but don't overdo it. The dough might be a tad sticky.
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.
To shape the dough. Use a 4-inch plain or fluted cutter to cut it into squares. Afterwards, cut these squares in half diagonally to create triangles. Place these triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops of the triangles with egg wash, then sprinkle them with sugar.
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.
