Fresh Strawberry Scones with Sweet Glaze
These buttery scones are packed with juicy strawberries and finished with a lovely sugar glaze.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a warm scone with your morning coffee. These strawberry scones have a wonderful texture because they are perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender and flaky on the inside.
My biggest tip for success is to keep your butter and cream as cold as possible. If your ingredients start to get warm, just pop the bowl in the fridge for a few minutes before you shape them.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

💡 Tips
These taste best on the day they are made, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for two days. If you want to keep them longer, wrap them tightly and freeze them for up to one month.
