These strawberry scones with a strawberry glaze on top are a fruity delight. The scones are tender, flaky, with fresh strawberries in every bite.

Fresh fruit in a scone is about as good as it gets. The fact that this counts as breakfast is even better! The strawberries add a nice freshness to the scone and the strawberry glaze on top take that strawberry flavor to the next level. It’s literally just liquid strawberry with some powdered sugar mixed in. It is so good!

Scones are one of my favorite baked goods to make because they really are effortless. They turn out amazing every time. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack, these are one to make when having guests over.

Be sure to try my Cranberry Orange Scones as well!

Ingredients

Strawberries
Flour
Granulated Sugar
Baking Powder
Salted Butter
Heavy Cream
Egg
Confectioners Sugar

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder.
Cube the cold butter and cut it into the dry ingredients. You don’t want pieces any larger than the size of a pea.
Chop up a cup worth of strawberries into small pieces. Discard the stems. Stir into the mixture until the strawberries are fully coated with the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg. Stir until a dough just starts to form. Don’t over mix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and form the dough into a ball. Then press the dough down into an 8-inch-wide disc. The disc should thick, that’s what you want. Cut into 8 wedges.
Place the wedges on the lined baking sheet evenly spaced apart. Brush the top of the scones with the tablespoon of heavy cream and then lightly sprinkle some granulated sugar on top. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Bake for 19 minutes or until golden brown.
While the scones are cooling, make the glaze. Blend together a 1/2 cup of stemless strawberries with an 1/8 cup of confectioners’ sugar. Blend until smooth. Drizzle over the scones when ready to serve.
