I knew I found a winner when I tasted these Strawberry Scones. They were perfect; billowy, soft, crumbly, studded with a generous amount of fresh strawberries, and topped with a drizzle downpour of sweet glaze. Pair these with a mug of coffee and you’re set! If you’ve never attempted scones, you have to know they’re easy to make! More good news: once you have a good scone base, you can make all kinds of modifications for either sweet or savory scones.
You’ve probably eaten scones, but have you tried making them? There’s nothin’ to it! And the greatest part is, once you have a basic scone recipe, you can make it a hundred different ways; everything from dessert scones to savory biscuits.
These strawberry scones are soft and wonderful. I brought these over to my nieces birthday party and all 4 of my sisters and my Mom asked if I had the recipe posted yet; they wanted it!

Absolutely incredible. It was my first time making scones and it certainly won’t be the last. What a treat to find such a delicious recipe. As easy as it gets.

these scones are soooooooooo good!!thank you
These are delicious! I drizzle melted chocolate on them after they cool off. 😛
Yum! Sounds delish.
Can I use frozen strawberries? How would I adjust for that?
Hi Amanda! I’ve found that fresh fruits works best but you can use frozen (do not thaw).
I used buttermilk instead of cream since I had that on hand and the scones were wonderful. I love the crunchy topping created by the butter which I grated before adding to the flour mixture. It took a little bit of work to get the dough to come together while being careful not to overmix but it the scones came out perfectly. This is a great summer treat.
I’m so glad that worked great with cream. Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Lili!
