Ingredients
⅓ cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus ¼ cup for shaping)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
For the glaze (optional):
1¼ cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or milk)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone mat.
In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender or mixer until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the buttermilk-egg mixture and stir gently until dough just comes together.
Fold in diced strawberries carefully.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and shape into a 1″ thick round.
Wrap and chill the dough for 1 hour (or overnight).
Slice into 8 wedges and place on baking sheet, spaced apart.
Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden.
Cool completely.
For glaze: whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice or milk until smooth; drizzle over cooled scones and let set for ~1 hour.
Notes
Add lemon zest to dough for extra citrus flavor.
Try white chocolate or cinnamon chips for a fun variation.
Serve unglazed scones warm with whipped cream and berries for a shortcake-style treat.
Use fresh strawberries for best texture; frozen berries can make dough too wet.
Chill the dough for the best flaky rise and structure.
