How to Make the Best Strawberry Lemon Scones

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups + 2 tbsp flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp lemon zest.
• Once combined, cut in 1/2 cup cold & cubed butter with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp vanilla until just combined.
• Fold in 3/4 cup diced strawberries until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 1″ thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles.
• Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• While the scones are cooling, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp lemon zest (if desired) to make the glaze. If the icing seems too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, add in the last tbsp of lemon juice.
• Drizzle glaze over the scones.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How Do You Keep Scones Light and Flaky?

Use cold butter, handle the dough gently, and avoid overmixing. Cold ingredients and minimal handling are key to flaky scones.

Why Are My Scones Dry?

Dry scones are usually caused by too much flour or overbaking. Measure flour carefully and remove scones as soon as they’re lightly golden.

Can I Substitute Another Berry?

Yes! Raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries work well, but blueberries pair especially nice with lemon.

Can You Freeze Strawberry Lemon Scones?

Yes. Freeze baked scones in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
