- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1 cup (100 g) all purpose flour
- 1 cup (100 g) white whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup (64 g) white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons (57 g) of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) of heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- turbinado or raw sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons (14 to 28 g) of melted butter or heavy cream
- 1 cup (130 g) of confectioners sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or cream
- A drop or two of vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Process the strawberries, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor until chopped small but still with some good size pieces. Set aside.
- Mix the cream, egg, and vanilla together until well blended.
- Mix the flours, 1/3 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Add the cold butter and cut into the flour until crumbly.
- Quickly mix in the cream mixture and strawberries into the flour mixture until just moistened. Place dough onto a floured board and knead a couple of times. Lightly flour the top and bottom of the dough and shape into a round about 3/4 inch thick and cut into 8 wedges or shape the dough into a 9 by 7 inch rectangle about 3/4 inch thick, cut each into 6 squares and then into triangles by cutting from corner to corner.
- Place the scones on an ungreased baking pan. Brush with melted butter or cream and sprinkle with turbinado or raw sugar. Bake for 22 minutes for medium scones or about 24 minutes for larger scones, until the edges are golden browned.
- Mix the confectioners sugar with milk or strawberry juice until you get a drizzle consistency.
- Enjoy with sweet butter or strawberry preserves.
