Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a tasty snack, these scones feature a tender crumb, fresh strawberries, zesty lemon, and rich curd that will tantalize your taste buds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, lemon zest, buttermilk, and heavy whipping cream until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix; the dough should be a bit crumbly yet come together.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle or circle about 1-inch thick. If the dough is too sticky, dust it lightly with flour.
- Using a knife or a pastry cutter, cut the dough into desired shapes (triangles, squares, or circles). Arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the scones warm or at room temperature, with a generous dollop of lemon curd and fresh strawberries on the side, if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients, especially the butter and buttermilk, are cold before you begin. This helps create a flaky texture in the scones.
- Do not overmix the dough; mix just until the ingredients come together. Overmixing can lead to tough scones.
- When cutting out the scones, press straight down without twisting the cutter. Twisting can seal the edges and prevent the scones from rising properly.
- To achieve evenly baked scones, place them close together on the baking sheet so they touch slightly, which encourages even rising.
With the right ingredients and a few helpful tips, you can make a batch of delicious buttermilk scones with strawberries and lemon curd. Enjoy these scones fresh out of the oven for the best flavor and texture. Whether served with tea or enjoyed on their own, these scones are sure to become a favorite!
