Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 2 cups + 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cubed and cold)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (plus more for brushing)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup strawberries (finely chopped*)
- 1 - 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional--it makes the glaze extra lemony!)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, white sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Once combined, cut in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Whisk together heavy cream, sour cream, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Stir in the strawberries* and mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and pat into a 1" thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles.
- Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream, and bake for 15-16 minutes, or until scones are golden brown.
- While the scones are cooling, mix together powdered sugar (starting with 1 cup), lemon juice (beginning with 2 Tbsp), and lemon zest. If the glaze seems too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, add in the last Tbsp of lemon juice.
- Pour the glaze over the scones and enjoy!
