Strawberry Scones!

Oh. My. Goodness.

These Strawberry Scones turned out quite delicious! They are that perfect combination of not too sweet, a little crumbly, a little dry and very filling.

Since this is our strawberry patch (yep it’s the entire length of our screened in porch), I need multiple strawberry recipes. So, I played around with several different scone recipes and came up with this winner!

Strawberry Scones

Makes 8

2 cups white whole wheat flour

1 T. baking powder

1/2 t. salt (or less)

1/2 cup butter

1 egg, separated

3 T honey

1 t. vanilla

1/3 cup milk

1 t. lemon juice

1 cup chopped strawberries

Step one: Add the lemon juice to the milk and set aside. Preheat oven to 350.

Step two: Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter.

Step three: Mix together the egg yolk, honey, vanilla and milk. Add to the flour mixture and mix as best as you can with a fork.

Step four: Turn the strawberries into a strawberry puree – my “cheat” method is to put them in a ziploc bag and mush them up with my hands.

Step five: Another hands on bit – fold the strawberries into the batter and then form it into about an 8 inch round. Place on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie tray and bake for 15 – 20 minutes (until fork comes out clean, and the top is golden brown). I’ll score the scone into 8 pieces with a sharp knife before baking.
