strawberry cones
Can a morning be better than freshly baked strawberry scones with strawberry jam? I love scones because they are easy to make and not too sweet. They are perfect for breakfast or even as a base for a strawberry cake with fresh berries and whipped cream. I've made so many variations from Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Scones to Apple Scones with Spiced Glaze to Blueberry Scones.
Strawberries are plentiful this time of year and I always think of scones. These strawberry scones are a delicious way to use fresh strawberries. For more of my favorite strawberry baking methods, try these Strawberry Rhubarb Baked Oatmeal, Strawberry Squares, and Toasted Strawberry Banana Bread.
What's the secret of good scones?
There are a few tricks you can use to make perfect scones.
- The first is to keep the batter as cold as possible. I use frozen butter and cold buttermilk so the batter doesn't get too warm.
- Also, be careful not to overwork the dough as you mix.
- Finally, when you place the scones on the baking sheet, don't press them down.
How to make strawberry scones from scratch
First mix the strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar. Next, mix the flours, remaining sugar, salt, and baking powder together, then rub the frozen butter onto the dry ingredients.
Mix the buttermilk and vanilla and stir slowly into the flour. Fold in the strawberries and place eight large spoons of batter on a baking sheet. Then sprinkle with sugar and bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes.
Preparation of meals
These scones freeze well and are perfect for a quick breakfast. Freeze leftovers in a zippered bag or reusable container and thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Warm up in the oven or microwave.
Variations:
- Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
- If strawberries are out of season, use frozen ones.
- If you only want to use white flour, the points stay the same.
