Strawberry Lemon Scones
There is nothing better than a fresh, juicy strawberry from Lester's Farm Market. Why not bake those beautiful strawberries into a delicious scone?
Strawberry Lemon Scones
Ingredients:
(For Scones)
- 2 3/4 Cup Flour
- 1/2+ 4 TBSP Cup Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 TSP Cinnamon
- 2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 1/2 Cup of Butter (VERY cold, diced)
- 2 cups of fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup+ 1 TBSP of Whole Milk
(For Glaze)
- 4 TBSP Lemon Juice
- 2 TBSP Whole Milk
- 1 Cup Icing Sugar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Combine Flour, 1/2 Cup Sugar, Salt, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, and Lemon Zest in a bowl. Add the diced butter to the mixture and combine with hands until it resembles a crumbly texture.
- Add the fresh strawberries to the mixture, just barely combining.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 egg, and 1/2 cup of whole milk.
- Add the milk/egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until ingredients are just barely combined.
- Flour a flat surface, and split the dough in half.
- Gently roll the dough into an 6" circle and cut into 8 triangles, similar to the way you would cut a pizza. Repeat with other half of dough. ( NOTE: If you prefer your scones to be smaller, split the dough in 3 parts and roll 4" circles.)
- Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. Prepare the egg wash by combining 1 egg and 1 TBSP of milk.
- Lay the triangles of dough on the prepared baking sheet and brush with an egg wash. Sprinkle with sugar.
- Let bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze.
- Generously coat the scones with the glaze.
Enjoy!
