Perfect Strawberry Scones
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
I knew I found a winner when I tasted these Strawberry Scones. They were perfect; billowy, soft, crumbly, studded with a generous amount of fresh strawberries, and topped with a drizzle downpour of sweet glaze. Pair these with a mug of coffee and you’re set! If you’ve never attempted scones, you have to know they’re easy to make! More good news: once you have a good scone base, you can make all kinds of modifications for either sweet or savory scones.
You’ve probably eaten scones, but have you tried making them? There’s nothin’ to it! And the greatest part is, once you have a basic scone recipe, you can make it a hundred different ways; everything from dessert scones to savory biscuits.
These strawberry scones are soft and wonderful. I brought these over to my nieces birthday party and all 4 of my sisters and my Mom asked if I had the recipe posted yet; they wanted it!
This recipe was adapted from Better Homes and Gardens.

P.S. Thank YOU for reading my blog and sharing it with your friends and family. This blog has grown so much thanks to you. I’m always bragging to my husband that I have the best blog readers a gal could ask for. You are awesome and I’m thankful for each of you 🙂
Now go conquer some scones!
Do you have a favorite scone? These cranberry orange scones are a must try!
These scones are amazing! I had frozen strawberries, so I used those. Also, I added more than 1 cup and they turned out perfectly! (There’s no such thing as too many strawberries!!) Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Yay, that’s lovely to hear! We’re super glad that you enjoyed these scones.
Such a lovely, delicious recipe! I think I’d add even more strawberries next time but that’s my family’s only critique. We all enjoyed them! And they were so easy to make. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Sarah!
I am looking forward to making them. Just curious! If I don’t glaze them, do they still need to be put in the fridge. I would like to bring them on an outdoor trip and a refrigerator isn’t going to be possible.
Thank you!
Hi Sharon, hey are best within the first 1-2 days, they end to dry out if longer than that. You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. I hope that helps.
Thank you and thanks for responding so quickly! 🙂 I really am looking forward to making them!
Hi Natasha! I really want to try this recipe but I do not have a pastry blender… is there a way I can do this by hand or with two bench scrapers?
Thanks,
Aditi
Hi Aditi! You should be able to cut in the butter using a fork too.
best scones I ever made! Perfect texture, not to sweet, and everything a scone should be🩷
Thank you so much! I’m glad you loved it.
As a 6 month follower and one who has made dozen or so of your recipes, these are fantastic and were a real hit with family! Thank you for this! As a moderate cook I did question whether we should bake with the parchment paper or not as it wasn’t stated and I can be literal to a fault. (or I missed it?) I did however do that but next time I think I would pull the dough together on a rubber mat then move as it did get messy. Thank you Natasha for sharing and helping me not be so boring in the kitchen!
Hi Susan, I baked on the same parchment paper that I shaped the scones. You’re absolutely right that I did not specify that in the recipe. Thank you for letting me know. I am fixing that now.
These scones are great! I used two cups of strawberries. I didn’t have any cream, so used 1/2 n 1/2. I cooked them 15 min. Then drizzled the powdered sugar mixture on top.
Nothing like biting into a moist scone with a warm bite of strawberry. 5 stars
Hi Terese! I’m so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing.
This recipe turned out excellent!! While making the glaze, I added a few fresh strawberries, reduced the cream to 1/2 Tablespoon and put it in the mini blender. Pretty and delicious.
Hello Tanja, great to hear that you loved our Perfect Strawberry Scones!
Hi, can I make these strawberry scones one day before baking. I want to serve them at breakfast, n can bake fresh in the morning. Thanks
Hi Moeena, they are best within the first 1-2 days, they end to dry out if longer than that. You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. You can microwave them for 15 seconds to reheat.
Thanks for your reply. My question was if I make the scones on Friday evening n bake them on Saturday morning?store them unbaked in the fridge for the night, will they turn out ok😊thanks
I have not tested that to advise but I know that generally scones do well frozen before baking so I think it could work. Let us know if you experiment with it.
My young teenage Girl Scout troop came over to try this recipe yesterday. The results don’t look anything like yours, but they sure tasted delicious!
How fun! I’m glad it was enjoyed! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
How long would these last in the fridge? I’m doing a baptism brunch and want to cook some things ahead of time.
Hi Addison! They are best within the first 1-2 days, they end to dry out if longer than that. You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. You can microwave them for 15 seconds to reheat.
Recipe could use more sugar. I’d add a total of 4 TBSP next time I bake and see if that helps. Overall, recipe is okay .
We’d like to know how it goes.
Turned out perfect. I added a small drop of red food color to tint the glaze pink. Thank you for this perfect scone recipe.
You’re welcome, Robby! So glad you loved the recipe.
I love to make scones but haven’t been able to perfect an orange scone. Can I change these to orange or lemon scones?
Hi Joanne, I have not tested that but I saw someone shared this “These scones are incredible! I just made them and they came out perfect. I also added 1 Tbsp of lemon zest and it had the perfect pop of flavor. Thank you so much Natasha!”
I followed the recipe to a T and the scones were pretty dry, not flaky. I think the recipe could’ve used a bit more butter.
Thank you Natasha for this delicious and super easy to prepare recipe. I love making scones and this Strawberry Scone recipe is a ‘home run!’ Love your blog.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this recipe.
Hi
If I substitute half and half for heavy cream will that work also?
Thanks
Hi Z, I haven’t tried that substitution, so I can’t speak to that. Substitutions may hinder the recipe outcome. I always suggest making a recipe as written the first time around.
Made it for breakfast today with fresh strawberries picked over the weekend. This one’s a keeper!
This will be my go to recipe for scones from now on.
Thank you.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Muni!
Hi Natasha
Not familiar with a term used in your recipes. What measure is a ‘cup’? New to your blog, incidentally which I love. I live in England and everything is measured in metric or imperial.
Hi Mike, We’re in the US and use cups, but if you scroll down to our printable recipe card, most of our recipes have a metric conversion option on the printable recipe card. We are currently working on adding metric measurements to all of our recipes, but it is taking some time to add them one at a time. Thank you so much for being patient! In the meantime, check out our post on measuring which should help.
usually a one cup measurement is eight (8) oz or two hundred fifty (250) ml any liquid
If using frozen strawberries, would I throw them in frozen? Need to use up last year’s berries.
Hi Jan, I think frozen strawberries might be a little moist for these. Fresh fruit is best for scones.
Natasha, can I prep this recipe
As far as the cutting into wedges,& then refridgerate & bake the next day?
Hi Sue, I imagine that would work. Please share with us how it goes if you give this recipe a try!
I plan on making this for a Sunday brunch after church. So I hope it works out!! I’ll let you know.
These look amazing! I made strawberry Jam & I needed a scone recipe to go with it. I made this except plain! It turned out great and it’s the best texture I’ve ever had in a scone! You’re amazing Natasha!
That’s fantastic, glad you loved it!
Another amazing recipe! I’ve never made scones before and now I want to have coarse sugar on hand at all times so I can make these every week! I didn’t have strawberries but I did have fresh blueberries! I added the same amount of berries as the recipe calls for and added one tablespoon of lemon zest. I can’t wait to make different variations of this recipe! Thank you for all you do!
Yum! That sounds delicious with blueberries and lemon zest! I love that combination! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and awesome review with us, Rebecca!
For an easy way to shape scones…line a cake pan with plastic wrap. Plop in dough and press to level, turn out, pull off plastic, slice and bake.
Thank you so much for sharing that tip with me.
I made the strawberry scones today. They came out beautiful and delicious.
They even looked like yours.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Vincetta! Thank you for that wonderful feedback.
Hi Natasha. My husband’s favorite scone bakery just went out of business. Do you have a recipe for chocolate chip scones or triple berry scones? I need to learn to make them. It’s a Sunday morning tradition for him. Love your recipes and videos. Thanks.
Sorry to hear that, Catherine. Here are my Cranberry Orange Scones and Strawberry Scones recipes.
Hi Natasha,
New follow of yours! I absolutely love your recipes! I’ve been looking for a good scone recipe and wanted to ask if I can substitute the strawberries with bananas and add a little Nutella for a Banana Nutella Scone! I’d appreciate any feedback on measurements! Sending lots of love and support from Guam 🇬🇺
Hi Lydine, that sounds like a good idea however I haven’t personally tested that to advise of the measurements. If you do an experiment, I would like to know how that goes!
Thanks Natasha! Once I dive into it ill be sure to let you know!
Can I substitute the cream with buttermilk?
Hi Diane, I haven’t tested that but one of our readers did and they loved it. Here’s what they said “SO SO GOOD! I’m always looking for a new scone recipe and this is so fast and easy, but most importantly, DELICIOUS. Only thing I did differently was use buttermilk instead of half n half or heavy cream….cause I’m wild like dat turned out really good. thanks for the post and so excite for the better home opportunity. God bless u and ur family.” I hope that helps.
I’m following the recipe to the letter and they keep turning out dry! What am I doing wrong? What can I do to make them more moist?
Hi Selena, make sure to measure flour the same way to ensure you aren’t adding too much flour and making sure the wet and dry ingredients are balanced. If it seems to dry to stick together, I would drizzle slightly more cream. Also, make sure not to over-bake which can cause these to turn out dry.
I will try that today and let you know how it turns out!! Thank you!
I want to make these this morning. Can I substitute sour cream for the heavy cream?
I just couldn’t risk a mistake using sour cream with these so went to store for heavy whipping cream. These are so light and and melt in your mouth scrumptious! Can’t imagine baking scones from any other recipe! Thank you Natasha!! Oh and it was my first try at scones.
That’s so nice. You did great for a first-timer and I’m sure you’ll do better next time. Thanks for the excellent review!
Hello Kay, I haven’t tried using sour cream for this recipe to advise. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
Hi Natasha . Can we use whipping cream instead of heavy whipping cream for this
Hi Anjum you can try that as long as it’s chilled but we prefer heavy cream. Please share with us how it goes.
Best scones ever. No bakery or store can offer anything even close to these homemade ones.
I’m smiling big reading this comment! Thank you for that wonderful review, Liliya!
Great recipe, so good!
Thank you, Andy! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
. . . and yes, they freeze just fine. I make a batch, freeze it, then take a out two/day – and as the freezer is handy it’s no trouble to get another one sometimes.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
That’s a mighty rich recipe for scones – lot of butter, cream and eggs for that amount of flour. 150g per US cup is the conversion to use for the flour. 170g chopped strawberries, 144g is whole strawberries. Small eggs. Add the eggs with half the cream add more as needed for a pliable but not sticky dough. Tip 1: Use 1/5 cornflour (cornstarch US) for a lighter bake. Tip 2: When your oven temperature light goes out, give it another 5 minutes as that indicates air temperature – more time is needed for the walls to heat up. I’d omit the strawberries but slice scones afterwards and use jam/puree. Or maybe both plus some whipped cream
Thank you for sharing that with us, Simon!
Hi there ,just wondering if you can have jam and cream with them or are the scones are beautiful just as is
Hi Teresa, I haven’t tested that with a cream on these scones but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe
Can you use Gluten free flour? I’m going to give that a try….using the organic cup for cup GF flour.
Hi Victoria! Honestly, I haven’t tested that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Made the strawberry scones this afternoon. This recipe is totally awesome. A true keeper. They were light, just sweet enough and the strawberries put them over the top. I definitely will be making these again. I was wondering if I could use blueberries or raspberries as the season dictates? Thx for this great recipe!!!!
Forgot to give it 5 stars
Thank you Kaaren!
Hi Kaaren, I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe! Blueberries should work! I haven’t tried fresh raspberries, but I imagine you would have to be very gentle with them so they don’t burst before you get them in the oven.
Made these today with my daughter on ou 7th snow day this year. We enjoyed them without the drizzle but with lemon curd. Yummy!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Rebecca!
Can these scones be frozen ?
Hi Heather! Our scones haven’t lasted long enough to be frozen if you experiment I would love to know if that worked well.
These scones are incredible! I just made them and they came out perfect. I also added 1 Tbsp of lemon zest and it had the prefect pop of flavor. Thank you so much Natasha!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review 🙂
Yum!!! Made these last week and was very impressed with the recipe. Definitely a keeper. Lovely summer dessert. I did have a little problem getting the dough to stick together, next time I will knead it on the counter instead of bowl.
I’m so happy you enjoyed it Dorothy!
Thanks for a yummy recipe! I made these today with strawberries from our CSA and they turned out great! So great, my husband starting eating one before I could even take a picture.
Thank you Jeni, for such a nice review and you are very welcome 😀
Dear Natasha, in your strawberry scones recipe … What is the meaning of 1 cup 1 stick butter … Is that mean by 1 cup + 1 stick butter?.. tq
Hi Meg, I apologize that didn’t transfer clearly to the print-friendly recipe. It is supposed to be 1/2 cup or 1 stick of butter or 8 Tbsp.
Hi Natasha.
Love cooking and baking using your recipes 🙂 made this scones first time and double them because had some family over. Turned out great and very delicious 😊 Thanks for the recipe 😊
P.S. on one batch I used powder sugar with lemon juice for glaze. Taste amazing but your glaze recipe gives nicer look for scones 🙂 I probably will use two glaze for taste and look 😁
Hello Nina! I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe! Thank YOU for following and sharing your wonderful review with other readers!
Hi… the recipe calls for 1-1/2 cups flour in the initial instructions, but the recipe card calls for 2-1/2. Which is it?
Thanks,
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I missed that. It is 2 1/2 as in the ingredients lists. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention!
Oh, good! Thank you. I guess that’s why mine didn’t turn out.. Delicious, but kind of flat 🙂
Hi, do you use salted or unsalted butter?
Hi Sadia, I generally use unsalted butter in all of my recipes. I believe I have that in the print-friendly section 🙂 I hope you love the recipe!
Natasha can you please email me the recipe of strawberry scones when i click the link for recipe it gives me totally different one that I made before I cant view your and i love yours..please
Hi Inna, maybe you are referring to my cranberry orange scones? This was a guest post that I did for Better Homes and Gardens a while back and they specifically asked me not to share the recipe but just to link to my post on their site. Here is their original recipe and Here is the link to the modifications I made of the recipe. I wish it was easier but they requested it this way (and it’s one of the reasons I don’t guest post like this anymore!) Sorry for the inconvenience!
I would love to see a video of the scones recipe please.
I love that suggestion and thank you! I will add that to my list 🙂
I made them yesterday and the dough turned out very sticky, I added much more flour and they still turned out chewy.. could it be because of extra fresh strawberries?
Yes, adding extra strawberries adds more moisture to the recipe which would make it seem like you need more flour but adding more would make it chewy. The dough is supposed to be a little moist and sticky when you’re forming the dough but not too moist.
What can I say: it is D E L I C I O U S !!! I just made them. I saved only 2 scones for husband’s tomorrow breakfast… Almost all of them are gone. My cousin that came from Ukraine asked for more scones, after he tried one. My husband who is a scone lover ate 2 scones without stopping… I barely could stay away from those delicious scones. Panera Bread’ s and Starbucks’s scones nothing comparing to this one…
Since I do not have powder sugar, actually I forgot to purchased, I added 3.5 tbsp. Of sugar to the recipe. It came out great. I thought it would not be that sweet. But it was good. Maybe 4 tbsp. Of sugar would work fine… milk and scones are delicious..
Thank you for posting and sharing this recipe. I am glad that I found this recipe tonight…
I’m so happy you all loved the scones!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. You should definitely try the cranberry orange ones next! 🙂
Yes, I tried them already, back in the winter time…
Cranberry orange scones they’re standard ones (I mean it is everywhere, tons of recipes; all recipes are similar, but techniques of preparing them are different. I even developed my own recipe for cranberry orange scones with all changes based on comments from my relatives when I baked 10 different types of orange cranberry scones (ingredients vary little bit, same as techniques). My husband is very picky about scones, especially cranberry orange scones. They should not be extremely soft, extra loaded with cranberries, and many more. In order to develop that type of scones it requires some tricks and tips to technique of baking scones. I mean those scones definitely perfect for winter).
However, strawberry scones they are something… On my opinion, strawberry scones are one of the best type of scones… and I think they’re much better than just perfect for summer days… Cannot think of a word that will be applicable to strawberry scones description… Just WOW….
Oh with those scones, you just don’t image how many people (friend and family) I will surprise with those scones.
Thank you once again
oh by the way, since I previously baked scones and I know how dough should look like, I had to add about 1/4 cup of flour additionally to 2-1/2 cups.
I think sometimes it depends on flour. I switched from All purpose Flour to Self Rising Flour (King Arthur) few month ago for my baking. Why? I really like to watch how my dough raising while baking.
Hi, yes I agree different flours require varying amounts, even between all-purpose flours like American vs Canadian.
All Purpose Flour is plain, if you use use SR instead, then reduce the baking powder.
Thank you for sharing that with us.
Hi Natasha,
I was wondering if I would be able to substitute the strawberries for something else ? Like canned cherries?
Could I make frozen cherries Scones.
Hi Pauline, I have not tested with frozen cherries but it sounds delicious! If you experiment please let me know how you like that.
I made these and they tasted nothing like scones…the mixture was very sticky, I dont know what I did wrong! I kept adding more flour and still they were sticky. I baked them anyway, came out horrible….
It’s so hard to say what might have gone wrong without being there. Did you change anything in the ingredients or process?
I added raspberry instead of strawberry, maybe that ruined them, but I thought you can substitute with anything.
Were they fresh raspberries? I haven’t tried fresh raspberries, but I imagine you would have to be very gentle with them so they don’t burst before you get them in the oven. What happened exactly?
So I made the strawberry scones a few weeks ago and they were gone with in a couple of hours. So yummy. On Sunday morning I was up with the baby early in the morning so decided to make these again except we didn’t have fresh strawberries so I used black current and freeze dried strawberries. Amazingly delicious. I saw my family purposely making tea or coffee just to have some scones. I cant blame them because your recipe is delicious. Thank you cousin for posting such yummy recipes all the time.
That’s awesome that they were making tea or coffee just to have scones. Thanks for sharing that it works well with the black current or freeze dried strawberries! Anytime my dear 🙂
I made these this morning for my husband. The glaze was delicious and made them sweeter. The only problem I had was that the dough was sticky so I had to add a lot more flour and that increased the baking time but otherwise they were delicious 🙂
Hmmmm.. what kind of flour did you use? It’s normal for it to be a little sticky. How sticky was it?
It was really sticky. I had to knead the dough but i dont know what kind of flour it was. We just got married and we’re staying with his parents while our house is getting finished up. The in-laws and my husbands brothers loved the scones. They were gone real fast.
I’m glad they still worked out 🙂 I hope your new husband was very impressed. I wasn’t much of a baker when I got married – I think it was a couple years into it that I made my first cake and it wasn’t very good but my husband was so nice and ate it :-O (don’t tell anyone). lol. Congratulations on getting married! God bless your new family!
YES! I have been looking for a good summer scone and the last strawberry scone recipe I’d found left me in a temper. That was a bagel, not a scone, my goodness.
But these? JUST what I was looking for! I added a healthy dose of fresh strawberries and raspberries, and they are perfect. I recently acquired a strawberries & creme tea and these go lovely with it! Thank you!
Katy, welcome to the site and thank you for the great review, enjoy :).
Made these this morning and they are the most delicious scones I’ve ever made! So fluffy and perfect! Big hit with the whole family! I plan to make them again next week when family is visiting. Thank you for the recipe!
I’m so happy you loved the scones! Thanks for sharing your awesome review 🙂
I’m wondering if I can freeze these? Can I freeze the dough and then just bake them a little longer or would the strawberries be too runny? Or should I bake them and then freeze them and thaw and when we’re in the mood for scones bake just to hear them up right before eating?
Hi Natalya, to be honest, I haven’t tried freezing them so I’m not sure if that would work either pre-or post baking the scones. I’d have to experiment to be sure. If you do try it, let me know how it goes. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
I like your basic recipe, from now on will be using it, instead of the one I used before. I used whole wheat flour (trying to make it a little healthier since I can easily eat 4-5 scones a day :-). Also, instead of strawberries used more seasonal stuff: cranberries, fresh apple and some cinnamon.
For whatever reason I just love scones. Perhaps because their taste reminds me of ‘pryaniki’ my mom used to bake back in Ukraine
I love the idea of substituting with more seasonal fruits. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with me 🙂
I made it!!!!…………It’s soooooo good!!!!
Thank you , Natasha for the recipie!
That’s fantastic! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!!
I made them Saturday. Now those will be my go to recipe for a quick dessert in case company is around the corner. I left some without the glaze so my diabetic mom can eat some too. Thanks. I’ve never made scones before, and here this recipe only requires the easiest ingredients. I did omit basil and freeze dried strawberries just because I didn’t have any on hand.
If I use raspberries next time, do you think they would turn out too runny? and would I need to chop them in half at all?
I think you could do them whole or halved. Fresh raspberries would be delicious! I love that idea! I’m so glad your first scones experience was a great one 😉
Hi Natasha,
Do you think they would be okay without the glaze? I don’t buy powdered sugar so it’s easier to just omit it. Unless you can tell me of another way to make a different glaze? Thank you!
If you have a good food processor, you can make your own powdered sugar by pulsing regular granulated sugar. I do like the glaze because the scones themselves aren’t very sweet so the glaze adds the perfect amount of sweetness. I suppose you could drizzle them with honey just before serving if you wanted a more natural route.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a food processor. I tried to make a glaze by bringing equal parts water and brown sugar to a boil. It wasn’t getting thick enough though and I didn’t know how to fix it… so I just ended up omitting the glaze. To make up for the sweetness, I added a tablespoon more to the dough. Also, my strawberries were REALLY sweet. They turned out wonderful. Thank you for all your recipes! They never disappoint 🙂 Happy Mother’s Day!
Thank you Alya! I’m so glad you liked the scones. 🙂 Happy Mother’s Day to you also! 🙂
Delicious scones! They actually look like little Russian pies from my childhood that I loved! These will be great for Mother’s Day! Congrats on BHG guest post! How cool is that? Have not visited your blog in a while – my life has gotten busy – you have changed your design somewhat, didn’t you? Looks very nice!
Hi Julia! What have you been up to? Yes, I did change up the design. I’m so glad you like it 🙂 Thank you; I feel like I have to pinch myself sometimes. BHG is awesome! Have you applied to be a BHG insider? It’s been such a blessing for me and my blog to be a part of that 🙂
Just made these….for dinner 🙂
SO SO GOOD! I’m always looking for a new scone recipe and this is so fast and easy, but most importantly, DELICIOUS. Only thing I did differently was use buttermilk instead of half n half or heavy cream….cause I’m wild like dat 🙂 turned out really good. thanks for the post and so excite for the better home opportunity. God bless u and ur family.
I love that you’re wild like dat. lol. Now I’m excited to try it with buttermilk! Thanks for the tip 🙂
Congratulations with BHG . . . now you should be a guest with
“In the Kitchen with Dave” on QVC…. 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day and thanks for all of your recipes.
Irena…….
That sounds like fun! 😉 Thank you so much, Irena. You’re so sweet 🙂
Made them yesterday! Mmm! Absolutely wonderful! Nothing left of them… Do today, per kids request, making twice as much. This time they’ll be with cranberries and walnuts and some orange zest.
Thanks for great recipe!!!
Oh my goodness cranberries and walnuts and orange zest. Yum!! If you post a picture of them somewhere, tag me. I really want to see that. You’re making me desperate for scones here! 😉
Looks great and yummy. Cant wait to make them. Can you post them here with your directions?
Thank you Vera. They didn’t want me to do that since this is a guest post. Follow the links above to find the recipe. It’s so easy and delicious! I hope you give it a whirl 🙂
Hooray!!!! Strawberry scones!!! I know what I’ll be eating this weekend…I say “what I’ll be eating” because I don’t think I’m going to want to share any of these fabulous scones!
Ha! Thanks Lindsey. I should caution you, it’s hard to stop at just one when they are warm and freshly drizzled with glaze. Oh boy!!!
Could you please post your instructions and photos up here like you do for all of your recipes? I went on the BHG website but their instructions are a bit confusing especially with some changes that you made. Also.. is that raw sugar that you used?
Yes, I used raw sugar because I thought it looked nicer to have larger granules of sugar. They didn’t want me to post the recipe here since it was a guest post. It looks like I’ll have to make another version sometime soon! 😉 My best advice would be to print their original recipe and follow along with the pictures on the tutorial I posted on the BHG blog. They really are very easy to assemble. I hope you love them! 🙂
Hi Natasha!
oh my goodness, these may be my all time favorite breakfast…like ever.
I cannot wait to make these
I hope you will enjoy your Mother’s Day with your sweet one!
Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day also. They are a nice treat for breakfast 🙂
Wow! Looks gorgeous!!! Can I use frozen strawberries or blueberries?
I think frozen strawberries might be a little moist for these. Frozen blueberries can get a little juicy also. Fresh fruit is best for scones.
Thank you.
You are seriously amazing and good for BHG for recognizing it! Congratulations! I am so happy for you and the scones look fantastic. You are so right that with a basic recipe you can make so many versions. I once made black currant and red currants scones and to my surprise, my kids gobbled them up just the same.
Thank you so much, Julia. I was pretty floored when they asked me, and honored, and excited, and floored. Currant scones? That sounds amazing!
These scones are gorgeous!
Chloe thank you so much 🙂
