Fresh strawberries make these strawberry scones extra delicious! These scones are perfect for breakfast, brunch or teatime and  are perfect by themselves or with a bit of jam.

Make these delicious scones during strawberry season when the berries are at their peak of flavor.

Spring is in the air and I'm finding delicious ripe strawberries in the store! I can't resist those delicious strawberries and find myself buying some every time I'm at the store.

Why make this recipe

These scones are a delicious way to use some of those strawberries. They are perfect for breakfast and you can even whip up a batch in the evening and then bake in the morning.

Whip up a batch of strawberry scones and you'll find them moist in the center and crumbly on the edges with just the right amount of sweetness sprinkled across the top.

Making your own scones just makes good sense. You know exactly what goes into your scones and they just can't any fresher than homemade.

Key ingredients

Small bowls filled with flour, sugar, flour and strawberries.
  • Strawberries - you'll need fresh strawberries. Frozen will not work in this recipe
  • Cream - heavy cream or half and half
  • Butter - salted butter. Make certain the butter is very cold, not at room temperature

Step by step directions

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt
  • Add butter and mix in with a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture is coarse
  • Small cubes of butter on top of a flour mixture.
  • A glass bowl filled with flour.

  • Add fresh strawberries and toss to coat

  • Form into a circle and slice into wedges
  • A round of scone dough on a wooden cutting board.

  • Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar

  • Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 25-30 minutes

Tips for making scones

  • Make certain your butter is cold
  • Refrigerate scones for at least 15 minutes before baking
  • Do not overwork the dough. Just combine enough until everything comes together
  • If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional cream
  • Make certain oven is fully preheated to 400° before baking

Recipe faqs

Can I make these scones ahead of time?

Yes, you can make these scones ahead of time. Once the scones are formed, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake according to recipe directions.

Do I have to use heavy cream?

No, you do not have to use heavy cream. You can use half and half instead.

Do I need to grease my baking sheet?

Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for baking scones. If you don't have either, you will want to grease your baking sheet lightly with a nonstick spray to help prevent the scones from sticking.

    These sound and look so dreamy. I love the use of fresh berries, and can imagine how delicious a bit of butter would be melting over them right out of the oven. YUM! 🙂 ~Valentina

    Beautiful scones and pictures! That strawberry on the side is a real eye catcher. I've never made scones or eaten any (what a shame!), but I would sure like to try these.
