Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter extra cold
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped
- 1 egg for the tops
- 1/4 cup sugar for the tops
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Note: If you have a sifter, use it to combine all the dry ingredients for an extra light scone.
- Grate the cold butter into the flour. Gently fold in the sour cream and vanilla extract until a cohesive dough forms.
- On a well floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangular shape. Spread the diced strawberries all over. Then, roll the dough into a log.
- Cut the log at 45° into triangular pieces. Place the scones onto a lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the whisked egg and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake the scones at 350°F for 30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
