Fresh Strawberry Scones with Lemon Glaze

Fresh Strawberry Scones with Lemon Glaze are flaky and loaded with juicy strawberries! This is an easy breakfast the whole family will love! So good with a cup of tea or coffee!

Fresh Strawberry Scones with Lemon Glaze

Strawberry Scones

Like many fruit lovers, I have a weakness for anything involving sweet, juicy Summer strawberries! This week I’ll be sharing with you a few of my favorite fresh strawberry recipes, and today, we’re talking scones. Fresh strawberry scones with a light and lovely lemon glaze, to be exact. Mmm!!!

I’ve baked A LOT of scones over the past few years, and every time I pull a batch out of the oven I fall in love with the quirky treat all over again. I know a lot of people are either huge fans of the scone, or completely disregard them as a dry flaky biscuit, so I’m curious, are you a fan? Even if you’re not, I hope you’ll keep reading… I having a feeling these sweet, flaky treats could sway you to their side πŸ˜‰

Strawberry Scone Dough

Strawberry Scone Recipe

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

  • 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, VERY cold and cut into tiny pieces
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, roughly chopped
  • For the egg wash:
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, for sprinkling

Lemon Glaze for Scones

These scones are delicious on their own, but the lemon glaze really makes them shine. To make it you’ll need just 2 ingredients:

  • fresh lemons (zest and juice)
  • and confectioners sugar

Simple whisk these two ingredients together and viola! You have lemon glaze. If the glaze tastes a bit too sweet, add a tiny pinch of salt.

What I love about this particular recipe is that it yields a scone even a scone hater would love! Trust me – I live with one… and he was ALL over these babies πŸ˜‰ I think it was the glaze. In my opinion, a little glaze makes everything better.

The scones themselves are actually REALLY delicious in their natural naked form, and I ate one fresh out of the oven with zero regrets! FYI – scones straight from the oven are pure heaven!Β Just be sure not to burn yourself while in the act πŸ˜‰

Light, buttery, and packed with fresh berries, these scones are sure to be a new favorite for breakfast, brunch, or snack time! If you’re making these ahead of time for a party/ event, I highly suggest waiting to glaze them until right before serving, as the glaze will eventually make the scone soggy if it’s sitting on them for too long, and we don’t want that. Enjoy! xoxo

    Oh, these look absolutely awesome! I’m a scone fanatic; I’ve been hooked on them since my grandma introduced me to them years ago, and we always order them at a favorite local tea room (with clotted cream!). I would devour this whole batch by myself!

    It’s kind of frustrating when people are leaving star reviews that haven’t even tried the recipe. It discredits this blog so people should really think before they rate a recipe before trying it.

    Luckily, this recipe turned out well. I did double the sugar and add vanilla because I knew I wanted them to be a teensy bit sweet. I also used a biscuit cutter because I wanted buscuits. They turned out perfect.

    I made this and they were great! However it took way longer than 16 into bake. 30 minutes more like it. Not sure what I did differently?
