    This Strawberry Scones Recipe is just the thing to get your morning started off on the right not! Flaky, crispy, tender and buttery, all at the same time! With fresh strawberries and a sugary topping, you can turn your own kitchen into a fancy cafe!

    This is Best Strawberry Scones ever. Easy to make and delicious to eat

    What’s a Scone?

    I’m from a town that had a restaurant that made the best scones in the world.  So I grew to develop a  tastes for really good, tasty scones.  So, what is a scone?  A scone is actually a lot like a biscuit.  The only difference is that scones are usually made with eggs and biscuits aren’t.  But the result is generally the same for both in that the pastry itself isn’t too sweet.

    This is what I like best about scones.  They get the sweet or savory flavor from the fillings and toppings that you use with them, not from the pastry themselves.  This is great if you don’t want a dessert that is too rich, sweet or overbearing.  Comfort food doesn’t always have to be heavy or rich.  It just has to be comforting!  So we thought that BubbaPie would be a great place to present an Easy Strawberry Scones Recipe.

    Can You Use Frozen Strawberries For This Scone Recipe?

    If you absolutely have to, you can probably make it work. But they will most likely release too much liquid as they thaw and you won’t like the result. You’ll want to keep them as frozen as possible while working them into the dough, which will make them hard to cut into small pieces. You could possibly thaw them out so you can cut them, then refreeze them. But, honestly, I’d just make this recipe with fresh strawberries.

    How To Store Your Scones

    Like with all pastries and baked goods, keeping them in an airtight container is key! A tupperware or zip lock baggie will work. You can keep them in your fridge and they will last a bit longer than keeping them at room temperature. Just a couple seconds in the microwave will do the trick to get these babies fresh again!

    You can also freeze these Strawberry Scones. Just let them cool completely and wrap them tightly in aluminum foil, freezer wrap a freezer bag or any combo of these. They will be good in your freezer for up to 3 months.

    Strawberry Scones are great for brunch or a fun breakfast treat

    Notes, Tips and Variations

    • Use Cold Butter!- They main key to get authentic, bakery style scones is to use cold butter. This will get you that crispy, flakey and buttery texture you are looking for. If working the butter in with your hands, be careful as the dough will heat up quickly. The butter should still be in small pieces when ready to go in the oven. Using a pastry cutter or grating your butter is probably your best bet!
    • Milk- You can substitute any kind of milk if needed. Almond, soy, non-fat, etc.
    • Sticky Dough- The dough will be sticky! You can use some extra flour on your hands to help with this when you are working with it.
    • Small Strawberry Pieces- I like my pieces of strawberries to be pretty small. Having just a few big chunks of strawberries in each scone really isn’t what I’m going for. So make sure you are cutting them small enough so they are scattered evenly inside your scone.
    • Use Turbinado Sugar- While we just used granulated sugar on our topping, you can try using different sugars as well. Turbinado Sugar would be great. It is coarser, darker the scones more texture and flavor.
    • Add a Vanilla Glaze- Make these scones out-of-this-world delicious by adding a Vanilla Glaze. It’s easy to make, just combine 1 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar, 2 tbsp of Milk and 1/2 tsp of Vanilla Extract. Pour it over the Strawberry Scones once they have cooled.

    These are perfect for just about any occasion: a brunch, a cookout or just a surprise for the kiddos one Saturday morning while they are watching cartoons.  I hope you enjoy the warmer Spring weather and let me know how you like this Easy Strawberry Scones recipe!

      I found this recipe easy to follow but the dough was very sticky. I ended up adding a LOT more flour to get the dough to hold together. Otherwise it was great!

      I just made these Strawberry scones for the first time. I agree the dough was too sticky but I added some more flour ( need to keep practicing ) but approved by my 11 year old son 🍓😊

      I made these and something went wrong. It still wound up more delicious but I dont know what I did. Mine was a little stodgy. Cakey fudge like and it was super sticky and seemed too wet. Any helpful suggestions?

      These were very pretty! I did have to add a good bit more flour because dough was very sticky. They were very pretty but didn’t have a whole lot of flavor. Next time I will add more sugar than just the 2 Tbsp. I did add a confection sugar glaze over the top and that seemed to help!

        I would imagine that if you add more flour it would need a bit more sugar. Thank you for sharing with us!

      So many people said that it was super sticky..as was mine.I I couldn’t even cut it pieces and was very frustrating. I just think that you should change the recipe so people can enjoy it instead of feeling defeated in the kitchen…and then read the comments

      Tried making this as directed but like others said it came out cake batter consistency. To get the right consistency, I added flour a little at a time reaching 4 cups of flour total (2 cups more than directed). BUT, everyone loved the scones once they were done! Will keep recipe for future, with above adjustments.

      Based on the note and comments, I started out with 3 cups of flour and it worked great. I only dusted more flour on my surface for kneading. Came out perfect!

      I’m going to try making these scones today. Based on the above comments, will start with 3 cups of AP flour (King Arthur). I find the type of flour used can also make a difference. King Arthur seems to be the best on the market for scratch baking. I also try to stay away from bleached and (bromated?) flour. Just a thought 😊

      Having read the comments about the sticky dough, I formed a circle of the finished dough right on my partchment lined cookie sheet. I cut the pieces and spread the pieces apart gently using a knife push the pieces. The scones baked great and taste fantastic. I prefer scones less sweet but without any added flour these scones were perfect.
      Thanks for the delicious recipe.

      Very sticky and not much flavor. Texture was great.. it tasted more like a shortcake biscuit than a scone. I would add sugar to the mixture if I made them again 😊

      I love this recipe! I use 3.5 cups of flour for a better texture but I make these all the time because we love them so much at my house. I’ve done it with raspberries too and it’s still great!
