Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 – 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, optional
  • 2 cups + 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold & cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup strawberries, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and optional lemon zest.
  3. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy whipping cream, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the diced strawberries until evenly mixed.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into 8 triangles using a sharp knife.
  8. Brush the tops of each scone with a little heavy cream before baking.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
  10. While the scones cool, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, and optional lemon zest for the glaze.
  11. Adjust the glaze with more powdered sugar or lemon juice as needed for consistency.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.

Notes

For a stronger lemon flavor, add more lemon zest to the dough or glaze.
Ensure the butter is very cold for the best scone texture.
Scones are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day.
