Strawberry Scones...

I got a wonderful deal on 36 pounds of strawberries

so I have been slicing and dehydrating

making freezer jam, cutting and freezing

and baking scones!

My house smelled so delicious for about 4 days!

I just love the smell of strawberries, don't you?

The strawberry scones were a huge hit

as they taste just like strawberry shortcake

all in one bite!

Who'd you like the recipe?

2 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 stick cold butter, sliced

1 egg

1/2 cup yogurt or half and half

1 cup diced strawberries

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine the dry ingredients into large bowl.

In a small bowl, stir together the egg and the yogurt, set aside.

Now in the flour mixture, cut in your butter until you have coarse crumbs.

Pour in your egg/yogurt mixture and stir till combined.

Fold in your strawberries. Dough will be sticky.

Place dough onto a floured surface. 

Divide dough into 2 portions and form into a circle.

Cut each circle into 8 wedges

Place on cookie sheet and sprinkle 

the scones with additional sugar.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

I store my scones in the freezer

 and then pull a few out at a time.

I have also used this recipe for my

 blueberry, blackberry and raspberry scones!

Thanks for stopping by...

Have a delightful week!
