Strawberry Scones
Strawberry Scones – delicious strawberry scones, the perfect scones to make during strawberry season. Great with a cup of good coffee.
I’ve been making a lot of scones lately, I admit it. But I just love them! My goal is to make scones with all the fruits out there. I still have lots of fruits I haven’t tried, believe you me!
Strawberries, oh how beautiful they are. I find that fruits and animals photograph great, no double chins there. How did I get on this topic?
Back to strawberries, oh strawberries, how beautiful they are, and sweet and tart and delicious, and such a pretty red color. Hubby bought these gigantic strawberries from Costco and just look at the size of those things. And they smell amazing, I think I want one right now … I’ll be right back.
And I’m back. Yum! It’s like I need to make scones every weekend, if I don’t I probably won’t eat any breakfast all week long. Whenever there are any left. Hubby ate 4 at once, must have been really hungry. Either that or I need to feed him more often, maybe I need to make something else besides scones and magic cakes. I wonder!
I love to bake though, you guys all know this, so what’s a gal to do? I can’t help myself, I saw these strawberries and I just knew that they belonged in a scone.
These scones are super cute. I don’t usually brush my scones with egg wash but this time I did. I wanted them to have a nice shiny golden color because I thought they’d look so pretty with the red strawberries.
And of course, as usual, I sprinkle them with Turbinado sugar, my fave because I just love that sugar topping on my scones.
Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes and your kitchen will smell divine, your scones will shine and you’ll feel sublime. Oooook, no more poetry for me.
By the way I blogged this recipe 3 years ago, when my photography skills were horrendous so I just had to do a remake.

Strawberry Scones - delicious strawberry scones, the perfect scones to make during strawberry season. Great with a cup of good coffee.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries stemmed and cut into small pieces
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 6 tbsp butter unsalted
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 1 tbsp Turbinado sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
- Cut up the strawberries into small pieces and add 1 tbsp of the sugar to them.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder and remaining sugar. Add the butter and using 2 knives or a pastry blender start cutting into the butter. Use your hands if necessary but the mixture needs to resemble small peas.
- Add the strawberries to the bowl and coat them well with the flour mixture. In a small bowl mix the egg and milk together then add to the flour bowl. Using a spatula mix everything well. Add more flour as needed if dough is too wet and sticks to hands too much. Turn dough over onto a floured surface and shape into a round 8 inch ball.
- Cut the dough into 8 triangles, just like you would cut pizza and place the triangles over a cookie tray lined with parchment paper or a silpat. Brush with the egg wash. You may at this point, sprinkle the scones with additional sugar if you wish.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Fantastic recipe, used less milk than suggested to avoid being too wet and held back some of the beaten egg to use for the egg wash on top of scone. Really fluffy and will definitely make again. Thank you so much
jo says
My pleasure, so glad you enjoyed it!
Kaitlyn says
I love these scones! They are delicious, and each bite is filled with the sweet taste of strawberries; I absolutely adore them! I have found the past few times I’ve made them that the finished dough is very wet, to the point where I had to add a whole other cup of flour. What is the cause of this and is there any other way to minimize wetness? Thanks, ad I’ll definitely be making these again soon!
Joanna Cismaru says
There are so many factors that come into play. The environment can play a big part, how you measure your flour, etc.
Alyssa says
Awesome recipe!! I just made a batch and then another batch with chocolate chips for the kids. They came out perfect!! Will definitely be making these again. Thanks!!

My husband came home with a flat of strawberries and googled “things to make with strawberries” I made a double batch of these scones and topped them with a sweetened condensed milk glaze. I don’t have a pastry blender, so I froze the butter and used a cheese grater. I was able to get to the pea sized a little faster.
My kids, husband, sister and I are now in love with these scones. I will definitely be making these again.
Jami Young says
Perfect treat! Great way to use strawberries.
I used the Whisk attachment for may kitchen Aide mixer as a pastry blender. It worked well with this recipe, making the dough light and fluffy.
Nicole Beaulieu says
Very resourceful! We’re so glad you love the recipe 🙂
Lori-Ann says
This recipe is amazing! Quick, easy and most of all, delicious! If you are looking for a scone recipe, this one is definitely the one!!!!
Joanna Cismaru says
I’m so happy you enjoyed them!
Brittany says
Do you ever use heavy whipping cream in place of milk? I’m wondering how that would affect the end product…
Joanna Cismaru says
I haven’t, but I think it should be fine. I’ve used buttermilk but never heavy whipping cream.
Brittany says
Ooooo 😃. What difference did you notice, if any?
Nicole Beaulieu says
The buttermilk makes them so crumbly and light. Give them a try!
Brittany Lewis says
Can I also sub in different types of fruit? Like blueberries? (They were on sale so I bought a bunch =-D )
Nicole Beaulieu says
Yes for sure!
N says
Delicious! Thank you!
Lori-Ann says
This recipe is amazing! Ive made it 3 times in the last month and each time is better than the first. Everyone who has tried them said that they were amazing. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
Cary says
So good! I live in the northeast and made these on a humid day. I made sure I kept everything nice and cold. I also slice the berries and place them between paper towels to get rid of some of the redness. I also, after they’re covered in the sugar, put them on a strainer to get rid of any extra juice as well! These were so good and such a hit!
Joanna Cismaru says
Now that’s a labor of love! I’m glad they were a hit 🙂
Catherine says
So glad you mentions this! I had such a hard time getting my dough to be not so sticky – kept adding flour but felt like it had to be way too much. I will try your paper towel trick and then the strainer after sugar 🙂 I’ll
