    What You Will Need to Make the Strawberry Scones

    When preparing the Strawberry Scones, you will need the following ingredients to get started. The ingredients required will give you enough batter to serve at least eight people. Make sure you have these essential items in your kitchen:

    • All-Purpose Flour. Use the all-purpose flour as the base for your scone dough.
    • Granulated Sugar. Mix granulated sugar with the flour to add a touch of sweetness to your scones.
    • Baking Powder. The baking powder is an essential ingredient that gets the scones to bake to perfection.
    • Buttermilk. If you do not have buttermilk, you can use heavy cream instead.
    • Vanilla Extract. Using vanilla extract is a great way to give your scones even more of a sweet taste to them.
    • Fresh Strawberries. Chop your fresh strawberries into small pieces.

    You will also need an egg, salt, and unsalted butter. When preparing the optional glaze to go on top of your scones, you will need powdered sugar, coarse sugar, and milk.

    How to Store Your Strawberry Scones

    Store your Strawberry Scones in a large plastic container. While some people believe it is best to wrap them in plastic wrap, this can cause the scones to become a bit too dry. If you want to keep the scones fresh and flavorful, avoid wrapping them tightly in anything. Please put them in the large plastic food container, seal the container with a lid, and leave it on your kitchen table. Your scones will stay fresh for about two days. You can put your scones in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life for an extra day.

    You can put your scones in the freezer if you want to save them even longer. However, it is best to put them in the freezer before you bake them. They will taste much better if you can bake them after thawing them out. If you cannot do that, you can still save your scones in a food storage container in the freezer for up to three months to keep them fresh.

    Ingredients You Can Add to Your Scones

    The recipe for Strawberry Scones is perfect just the way it is, but you might want to experiment with different ingredients. For example, you may want to prepare a chocolate drizzle to go over your scones because it will taste good with the fresh strawberries. You can make the chocolate drizzle using powdered sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. If you do not have those ingredients needed to add the drizzle to the top of the scones, feel free to use melting chocolate or almond bark. You can melt it down, pour it into a piping bag, and then drizzle it all over the top of each scone.

    Chocolate adds a great touch to the Strawberry Scones, but you can use anything you want. Some other great additions to these scones include shredded coconut, a drizzle of Nutella, or a lemon glaze. You can also add other fruits into the recipe with your strawberries, such as fresh blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
