# Ingredients:
Strawberry Scones
01 -
3 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
⅓ cup granulated sugar
03 -
2½ teaspoons baking powder
04 -
½ teaspoon baking soda
05 -
½ teaspoon salt
06 -
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
07 -
1 cup buttermilk
08 -
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Lemon Butter Glaze
09 -
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
10 -
1 cup confectioners' sugar
11 -
½ tablespoon melted unsalted butter
# Instructions:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Incorporate cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a fork, fingers, knives, or a food processor with a metal blade using a few pulses until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
03 -
Gently fold chopped strawberries into the dry mixture ensuring even coating. Create a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Fold just until the dough comes together, avoiding overmixing.
04 -
Transfer dough onto a floured surface and divide into two equal portions. Roll each into a ¾-inch thick round. Slice each round into 6 wedges and arrange wedges on prepared baking sheet with slight spacing.
05 -
Bake for 14 to 18 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and cooked through.
06 -
Mix lemon juice, confectioners' sugar, and melted butter in a small bowl until smooth and lump-free.
07 -
Once scones have cooled, drizzle the lemon butter glaze evenly over each wedge before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Handle the dough gently to avoid toughness. Using cold butter ensures flakiness.
