  • 🍋 No mixer needed—just a bowl, whisk, and your hands

🍓 Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Optional: coarse sugar for topping

👩‍🍳 How to Make Strawberry Lemon Cream Scones

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4: Add Strawberries

Toss in the diced strawberries, gently coating them in the flour mixture.

Step 5: Add Cream and Flavor

In a separate bowl, mix cream, vanilla, and lemon juice. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6: Shape and Cut

Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges or use a biscuit cutter for rounds.

Step 7: Bake

Transfer scones to the baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Cool for 5–10 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, clotted cream, or lemon glaze.
