Description

Cream scones bursting with fresh strawberries and covered in a sweet cream glaze.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SCONES:
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour Plus Extra For Your Work Surface
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter, Chilled And Cut Into 1/4 Inch Cubes
  • 12 whole Strawberries, Hulled And Quartered
  • ¾ cups Half-and-Half Cream
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • ¼ cups Half-and-Half Cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set it aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add butter and cut it in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles crumbs.

Toss in strawberries and coat them lightly with the flour mixture. Add the half-and-half and fold everything together gently until the mixture just begins to come together and form a soft dough (more cream can be added if needed). Do not knead or over mix the dough.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. With a sharp knife, cut the rectangle into 6 squares, then cut the squares on the diagonal to form 12 triangles.

Place scones on prepared baking sheet and bake 16-18 minutes, or until scones are cooked through and golden.

Place a sheet of parchment on a work surface, then place a cooling rack over the top of the parchment. Remove scones from pan to the cooling rack. Cool about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla, and half-and-half until smooth. Glaze too thick? Add more cream by the tablespoon. Too thin? Add more powdered sugar by the 1/4 cup until the desired consistency is achieved.

Taking each scone by the bottom, dip them top side down directly into the glaze until the top is covered. Return scones to the cooling rack and allow glaze to drip down the sides and off the rack onto the parchment. Glaze will firm up when scones are completely cool. Scones are best enjoyed the same day, warm or at room temperature.

Very delicious and an easy dough to work with. I added some lemon zest both to the dough and the glaze. I will definitely be making these again!
