Looking for a great tasting, easy to make strawberry scones recipe? These strawberry scones are delicious. Nothing can compare to a homemade scone.

Those scones remind me of grandma, she often made them when we would come over to hang out at her place. Scones are pretty popular now a days. Starbucks sells blueberry scones, but in my opinion, you cannot compare them to homemade, warm out the oven…yummy
Tips for Making the Perfect Scones:
- Never use bread flour. Bread flour is too strong and will not give a light airy texture to the scones.
- The secret to perfectly soft scones is not to overwork the dough.
- Make sure all of the scones are the same size. This ensures even baking.
- Beaten or whisked eggs work best to coat the top of the scones. Some recipes call for milk, but I find eggs give the best shine.
Variations to Strawberry Scones
- If you wish to make a little healthier version, you can replace 1 cup of white flour with whole wheat flour. And replacing sour cream with plain yogurt.
- Blueberries can be swapped for the strawberries in this recipe.

Can I use 2 cups of heavy whipping cream instead of sour cream? Also are they supposed to be moist or dry inside?
Hey Ella, it would totally change the recipe if you replace the sour cream. They are moist but crispy on the outside,
I JUST LIVE THESE. I have made blueberry with white chocolate chips and I have strawberry with white chocolate chips in the oven as I type. I am just having a hard time because even though i flour the counter ,as I’m making my triangle when I start to fold and roll it sticks bad and starts to rip.. any help for me? 🙄
Hey Debbie, did you watch my video for this recipe? I shared how I make it in more detail.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
I wouldn't recommend using frozen strawberries because they will be mushy.
Would there be an issue to freeze before baking? Would like to take out just a couple at a time to bake
I think that would work. My only worry is strawberries holding up after your freeze them. I typically freeze them fully baked but reheat in an oven, they come out amazing and fresh.

Hi and greetings from Estonia 🙂
I have a question about cups and grams 🙂
Do you use only cups and ounces or decilitres and grams too? I realy like your recipes but I have no idea how to measure 1/2 cups of butter...
Could you please weigh your most often used products and make a small chart for people like me who have no idea about sticks and cups of butter :)?
Best wishes,
Ingrid

SUPER YUMMY AND EASY TO MAKE! BEST SCONES EVER TASTED! THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE!
Thank you Tanya! We also love them and strawberries are almost in season. Looking forward to baking them.
I made this scones with Apple cinnamon and brown sugar! They turned out so good! I totally like this recipe a lot!
Oh man!!! That's an awesome idea. Like a cozy autumn dessert. You are genious!!!
я наверное готовить не умею, два раза их делаю и два раза не знаю почему тесто настолько липнет, что я не могу его завернуть в рулет, и еще какой толщины оно должно быть? получается вкусно, хотелась бы и красиво
Yes, this dough is very sticky but if you flour the surface it will be easier to work with. Roll it out as thin as you can, this way you get to add more berries. I rolled it out to 1/4 of an inch.
Thank you, the other day I had some with a latte and some strawberry sauce dipping. Strawberries with more strawberries = heaven 🙂
This looks delicious! I love scones, and strawberries are a nice addition!
