Perfect Strawberry Scones

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

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!
