While the calendar says Spring the weather hasn’t been exactly Spring-like here. Â Far too cold and not enough sunshine for my liking! Â 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. Â Fresh picked strawberries that are warm from the summer sun are like little morsels of heaven for me. Â 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. Â I brought these scones to a friends house for a playdate and they were loved by kids and adults alike. Â I only took 8 but next time I will definitely make sure to make a double batch!
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
Preheat oven to 450C.
-
Measure strawberries and set aside to partially thaw.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1 tsp sugar.
-
Pat dry frozen strawberries to remove excess moisture and stir into mixture.
-
Add cream and stir until the mixture just comes together.
-
Knead the dough a few times.
-
Pat the dough into a flat round about one inch thick and cut into eight wedges. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp of sugar.
-
Place wedges on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.

Tea and scones in the afternoon, what a wonderful break in the day!
I don’t usually particularly care for scones but this recipe may change my mind. Love the strawberry addition.
I’ve never had strawberry scones, these sound delicious. Must see if I have time to make these whilst they are still in season or do you have to use frozen ones?
