Servings: 12
Calories: 150kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Before you begin, set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Incorporate the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or fork to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Gently pour in the milk and vanilla extract, then stir until the dough forms a cohesive mixture. Be careful not to overmix; it should be slightly crumbly.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it several times until it comes together.
- Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness and use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out scones.
- Arrange the scones on the lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes or until they achieve a golden brown hue.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
