These delicious strawberry scones came about after my first taste of a truly delicious scone in a tiny cafe in England. They were served warm with clotted cream. I was hooked! I recreated them at home and even added fresh basil. I hope you enjoy these fruity scones as much as we do.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries

  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in 1 cup buttermilk, and stir just until combined. Fold in strawberries (and basil if using.)

  3. Dust a work surface lightly with flour and divide dough in 1/2. Shape each portion into a 3/4-inch-thick circle; cut each into 8 wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Brush tops of scones with 2 tablespoons buttermilk and lightly sprinkle with brown sugar.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
