Ingredients
Scones
- 250 grams all-purpose flour you may need a bit more if your strawberries release a lot of moisture
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 115 grams unsalted butter cubed and cold
- 1 unit egg
- 60 ml heavy whipping cream plus more for brushing
- 60 ml sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams strawberries finely chopped
Glaze
- 125-190 grams powdered sugar 1-1 ½ cups
- 2-3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Once combined, cut in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream, egg, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Stir in the strawberries and mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and pat into a 2.5 cm – 1" thick circle. Cut it into 8 triangles. Put them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream.
- Bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C – 400°F for 15-16 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
- While the scones are cooling, mix together the powdered sugar (starting with 125 gms – 1 cup), lemon juice (beginning with 2 tbsp) and lemon zest. If the glaze seems too thin, add in more powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, add in more lemon juice.
- Pour the glaze over the scones and enjoy!
Notes
Use dry strawberries instead of juicy ones to avoid excess moisture in the dough. If your strawberries are really juicy, pat as much moisture as possible out with a paper towel.
