Strawberry Scones

Strawberry scones! I’m non certain why I don’t brand scones to a greater extent than frequently because they are oh-so-delicious!

Perfect strawberry scone-making too scone-eating opportunities:

• Brunch alongside friends


• Breakfast on the go


• Mother’s Day!


• Afternoon snack


• Literally whatsoever other time, because how tin y'all become incorrect alongside scones?!

Scones volition move making a regular appearance inwards my kitchen from straightaway on, I think.

How to Make Scones:

Ok let’s speak a picayune scone technique hither – at that topographic point are 2 things y'all demand to know earlier making these. Don’t worry – I’ll also include this information inwards the recipe notes at the end!

First, y'all demand to role either frozen (like, truly frozen – non frozen strawberries that y'all thawed) or dried strawberries here. If y'all role fresh ones, they’ll publish agency to much liquid piece baking too the scones volition move a hot mess. I used frozen for these.

Second – Before baking, y'all volition wishing to shape the dough into a disc on your lined baking canvas (I used a silicone baking mat – beloved that thing!) too and thus cutting the scones too move along to bake. About twenty minutes into the bake time, you’ll wishing to accept the baking canvas out of the oven too nudge the scones a picayune further apart alongside a knife thus that the within edges volition laid upward better. Then you’ll supply the pan to the oven thus the scones complete baking.

Not a huge bargain but simply something to note!

Other things to depository fiscal establishment annotation – the dough is going to move form of shaggy looking, or crumbly, which is fine! Just shape it every bit best y'all tin – it doesn’t demand to move perfectly smooth. I also similar to sprinkle a picayune extra cane saccharide over the laissez passer on earlier baking them, to give approximately crunch.

Strawberry scones – thus slow to make! Oh, y'all tin fifty-fifty popular a picayune glaze on laissez passer on to brand them hold back all fancy. All y'all demand is 1 loving cup of powdered saccharide too a splash of milk too we’re inwards business.

I am struggling to discovery to a greater extent than things to tell most these scones because I’m a picayune tired today too my encephalon is fuzzy. We’re leaving for Iowa on Lord's Day to pass a calendar week alongside Grant’s household unit of measurement (my in-laws) – Yay! We’re also going to a expert friend’s marriage – double yay! (Hi, Kodee, if you’re reading this 💜.)

So, I’ve been working a lot to a greater extent than than commons this week, trying to larn weblog posts ready for piece we’re gone, doing laundry, too trying to larn the solid cleaned upward earlier nosotros leave. Not that I heed the operate – I beloved working on the weblog too creating yummy recipes for all of you!!

But, I am decidedly excited to accept approximately long naps inwards the car on the drive to Iowa! I’m also excited to start my summertime reading listing since I’ll receive got extra gratis fourth dimension (!!!) How is it summertime already?!? It feels similar it was snowing simply a few curt weeks ago….oh wait, it was.

What’s kickoff on my summertime reading list, y'all ask? While, I’ll tell you. The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street! It is SO expert – I’ve read it i time before, but it definitely deserves a re-read, or two. It form of falls into the same category every bit A Tree Grows inwards Brooklyn, if you’re curious!

Oh, friendly reminder – Mother’s Day is this Lord's Day too y'all should in all probability brand these Strawberry Scones for your mama.

Or purchase her approximately flowers, or a plant, if she’s into gardening (which my mom is). But whatever y'all exercise – don’t allow said plants sit down inwards your driveway, because your dad volition dorsum out inwards his car too run the flowers over, severing bloom from stem. And he will endeavor to tell y'all that it tin move “glued dorsum together.” And y'all volition brand approximately other trip to the garden centre to supersede the flowers, because y'all beloved your mom too she deserves un-glued flowers.

Not that I know this from experience.
