Strawberries and cream scones are buttery, tender, and bursting with juicy strawberries. These easy-to-make scones have a golden crust, a soft interior, and are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: turbinado sugar for sprinkling or glaze (1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1–2 tablespoons cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently fold in diced strawberries.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together heavy cream and vanilla extract, then pour into the dry mixture.
  6. Mix just until the dough comes together—do not overwork.
  7. Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick circle, and cut into 8 wedges.
  8. Place scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  9. Bake for 16–20 minutes, or until golden. Cool slightly before serving.
  10. Optional: Drizzle with glaze after baking if desired.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and cream for best results.
  • Substitute other berries or add lemon zest for a twist.
  • For frozen strawberries, keep frozen while mixing and extend bake time slightly.
  • Refrigerate unbaked scones overnight to bake fresh the next day.
