Strawberry Scones
Homemade scones were one of those recipes I looked at as too difficult to ever attempt. They were just things I ordered when I was at a coffee shop or a bakery. I’m happy to have learned how to do them myself because now when I have scones they are always fresh. Let me show you how to make them.

How To Make A Strawberry and Cream Scone
- Dough. Follow the full recipe below to mix up your scone dough. Make sure to dice your strawberries into small pieces so they mix into the dough.
- Cut. Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it’s about an inch thick. Then slice the dough into 8 even pieces like a pie and place them onto your baking sheet.
- Egg wash. Mix up your egg wash and brush over the top of your pastry.
- Bake. Cook until turn golden brown, about 16-18 minutes.
- Glaze. While your scones cook, mix up your glaze. When they come out of the oven, drizzle the icing on top. Enjoy!
If you want the glaze to be a true white color, use clear vanilla instead of the vanilla that is brown in color.
How To Store Scones
Scones are usually only good for a couple of days. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Can You Freeze Scones?
To freeze scones you’ll want to freeze the dough prior to baking in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Pull them out and bake frozen.
How To Eat Scones
Did you know there is a very specific way to eat a scone at a tea party? I don’t plan on eating with The Queen anytime soon, but I thought this Scone Etiquette article was fun to read.
