This simple yet delicious recipe combines the sweet tang of fresh strawberries with the rich, buttery texture of freshly baked scones.

Ingredients:

3 cups self-raising flour
450g
2 tsp sugar
10g
1 dash salt
1g
1/4 cup butter
54g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Position the rack in the center of the oven.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
4. Cut in the Butter:
- Add the butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add Strawberries (Optional):
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries if using. Make sure they are evenly distributed.
6. Add Milk:
- Gradually add the milk (starting with 1/2 cup) to the flour mixture. Stir gently until the mixture comes together into a soft dough. Add more milk a little at a time if needed. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
7. Knead the Dough:
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently for about 30 seconds to a minute, just until smooth. Avoid over-kneading to keep the scones light and tender.
8. Shape and Cut:
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Use a floured round cutter or a knife to cut out scones, about 2.5 inches (6 cm) in diameter. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
11. Serve with Cream:
- Serve the strawberry scones warm or at room temperature with a generous dollop of heavy cream.

Tips:

- Use Cold Butter: Ensure that the butter you use is cold right out of the refrigerator. This helps in creating a flaky texture as it melts during baking.

- Do Not Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix just enough to incorporate them together. Overmixing can leave you with tough scones instead of the light and tender ones you desire.

- Chill the Dough: After forming the dough, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This makes it easier to handle and helps the scones maintain their shape during baking.

- Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries will provide the best flavor. Ensure they are cleaned, hulled, and diced into small pieces to evenly distribute throughout the scone dough.

- Bake Until Golden: Keep an eye on your scones, and bake them until they have a nice golden-brown hue. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes at 400°F (200°C), but can vary slightly based on your oven.

Once you've mastered the art of making these strawberry scones, you'll find they quickly become a favorite go-to treat. The combination of fresh strawberries and cream creates a delectable flavor that can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Perfect for any occasion, these scones are a testament to the joy of home baking.
