Fresh Strawberry Scones

Recipe View Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Gently pat diced strawberries dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a small pitcher, combine cream and vanilla extract. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and nutmeg. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently fold in the strawberries. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the cream mixture into the well and stir lightly until just combined. Let the dough rest for 2 minutes. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into an 8-inch round. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the round into 8 wedge-shaped scones. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. (18 minutes)
