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!
MY LATEST VIDEOSStrawberries, 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.
- 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
- 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.
Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.

Thanks scones are very good, I did add sliced almonds to the top😉
The scones are great but I did make some changes.
When making scones previously I notice they ask for very little DRY fruit (cranberries….). So I used 1 cup of strawberries instead of 1 1/2-2……. especially since strawberries are very moist.
I used half the milk called for and the smallest egg I could find in the egg carton.
On a floured board I simply pressed the ball of dough into a round shape to the thickness desired for the scones……. and transferred it to the parchment scoring it into eight pieces with the pizza cutter. I baked these for 25 minutes and they were still quite moist but delicious. Next time I will bake them for the full 30 minutes.
So glad you tried out our Strawberry Scone recipe and had some fun with making it your own. We love scones, any kind of scone and the strawberry ones are so good. Have you tried our lemon scones yet? http://www.jocooks.com/recipes/lemon-buttermilk-scones/
Awesome recipe! These are in my oven now with about 10 more minutes to bake. I also measured cut freshad to double the flour in order to shape and cut but I can tell it’s worth the extra flour! fresh berries & They look delicious and I can’t wait to taste them!I didn’t sprinkle the extra sugar since I’m going to glaze them. Thank you again for the recipe
Typos lol it should say I used fresh cut berries and had to double the flour. I just pulled them out of the oven and had a little nibble! Omg it’s so delicious! I can’t wait to try them with the glaze! ?
Hello! Loved the idea of this recipe, so tried it today. Used VERY fresh picked strawberries, but something must have gone wrong, because the dough never became malleable/kneadable, it stayed sticky, so I couldn’t make a ball and cut into slices. Also must have ended up using too much extra flour because they never got crumbly after baking either. Maybe I should cut back on the berries next time? Used 2 cups. Help? 🙁
I had the same experience and next time I’ll use only one third cup of milk instead of 2 thirds. I nearly doubled the flour and the dough was still too sticky so I cooked it all in one pan instead of individual scones
I did the same thing! I added a cup of extra flour but they were still too sticky so I put them in a pie pan and baked them for 35 min and they are good.
OR, maybe we’ve measured the berries incorrectly- I measured cut berries and perhaps it’s measure first, then cut
In England, we do not kneed or roll out scones. Do what we do. Simply flour your counter or surface liberally, then turn out the dough onto the flour. With floured hands, pat into a circle or square and cut into wedges or quarter your large square. Then halve the smaller squares. I then use a flat counter scoop or large flat spatula and set them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Egg was and bake. This method makes the most tender scones and biscuits imaginable.
Me too. Under work the dough, makes them lighter. A true scone.
Thanks scones are very good, I did add sliced almonds to the top, added an extra 1/4 cup of flour, and treated it more like a biscuit, so even though it was still sticky to keep it light, don’t kneed.
Are these hard scones or soft? I prefer the hard ones over the soft. Maybe just bake them longer?
Do you have a recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Scones?
They’re harder on the outside but soft on the inside. I don’t have a recipe posted for Oatmeal Raisin scones, you can see all the scones recipes here.
Hi, for what is the egg wash?
Why for brushing the scones of course. Fixed the instructions. 🙂
These scones are gorgeous. Just everything about them is perfect. They look perfect for spring! (can’t wait.)
Pinning!
Thanks Abbie 🙂
I haven’t made scones in a while, and these look wonderful! Now that strawberries are popping up in my grocery store again, I think I will be trying these soon!
Yeah, I’m telling you I can’t wait for spring. 🙂
Beautiful photography and scrumptious recipe, Jo 🙂
Thanks Abbe. 🙂
Scones are my favorite kind of breakfast!
Have you ever tried making them in your food processor? That’s how I usually make my scones, but I’m not sure about how the strawberries would hold up…maybe stir them in by hand at the end. Looks like a great recipe and I’ll surely try it.
Karen
Nope, I never have, never even thought of it. Yeah I would add the strawberries in at the end by hand.
Strawberry Scones here I come. Your apple cinnamon look pretty jazzy too. I normally have strawberries on hand as well as apples.
It helps that I LOVE scones.
It sure does. 🙂
I just found you through Pinterest. I am loving the look of these scones. I usually make them the Scottish way and cut them with into rounds, but they look great this way. I’ve added strawberries to muffins before but never scones, so I can’t wait to try these. Roll on berry season.
Thanks Jacqueline, can’t wait for berry season either. 🙂
This looks so yummy and fresh with the strawberries. I will be awake super early on Sunday to watch and cheer on the man’s Team Canada hockey team and this will be perfect! It’s even red and white! Just awesome 🙂
Hi Sue, I think a lot of people will be waking up early tomorrow. 🙂
I saw these on your blog last week and made them on the weekend. Just ate the last one today! Yummy!!!! I love that it doesn’t have much sugar in it at all. Of course, I did sprinkle a lot on the tops!!! Delicious!! Thank you! 🙂
You’re welcome, yeah I kind of ruin it too by sprinkling that sugar on top, but it’s so good. 🙂
In the captions it says to use 2 tbsp of sugar and 2 tsp of baking powder. However, the recipe calls for three of each. How much is correct?
Hi Andrew,
It’s 3 tbsp of sugar, one tbsp you put on the strawberries and the rest in the scone dough. Only 2 tsp of baking powder needed. Recipe has been updated. Thank you.
can i use frozen berries??
I haven’t, but you probably could, as long as you can cut them up in smaller pieces, or thaw them out first and drain them if there are any juices.
How much flour?
2 cups 🙂
