Strawberry Scones:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup of cold butter (cut into small chunks)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup coarsely cut fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour
Topping:
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the butter is pea sized. You can even use your hands or a food processor to do this part!
- Stir in the cream until the dough is moistened, but be careful not to over mix it or the biscuits will be tough.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips.
- In a small bowl, toss the cut strawberries in the 1 tbsp of flour, then gently mix the strawberries into the scone dough using your hands. Don’t over mix or the berries will colour the batter.
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper (or a silicone mat if you have one) onto your countertop.
- Press the dough into a ball and transfer it on to the paper and press it down into a circular disk. Then using a rolling pin, roll and flatten the dough to a 1 inch thickness.
- Brush the top with a little milk, then sprinkle on some sugar.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into triangles.
- Place the scones onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and bake for about 10-15 minutes. The scones are done when the tops and bottom edges are lightly golden brown.
- When they are done baking, transfer the scones to a cooling rack.
