Strawberry Scones

While the calendar says Spring the weather hasn’t been exactly Spring-like here.  Far too cold and not enough sunshine for my liking!  The perfect way to cure my hope for warmer weather is to cook with ingredients that remind me of summertime. Strawberries are by far my favourite fruit.  Fresh picked strawberries that are warm from the summer sun are like little morsels of heaven for me.  While these strawberry scones are not made with fresh strawberries I used frozen which are the next best thing when fresh and local are not in season.

This recipe is easy, quick and delicious.  I brought these scones to a friends house for a playdate and they were loved by kids and adults alike.  I only took 8 but next time I will definitely make sure to make a double batch!
