These Strawberry Cream Scones are soft, tender, and lightly sweet with bursts of juicy strawberries in every bite. Made with heavy cream instead of butter, they come together quickly and bake into perfectly flaky, bakery-style scones—ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 scones 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup heavy cream (cold)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries (diced)

1 tablespoon flour (for coating strawberries)

Optional Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tablespoons milk or cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Toss diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour (prevents sinking).

Add cream mixture to dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.

Fold in strawberries carefully—do not overmix.

Turn dough onto a floured surface and shape into a 1-inch thick circle.

Cut into 8 wedges and place on baking sheet.

Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden on top.

Cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze if desired.

Notes

Cooking Tips

  • Keep ingredients cold: Cold cream helps create tender, flaky scones.
  • Don’t overmix: Overworking the dough leads to dense scones.
  • Use fresh strawberries: Frozen berries release too much moisture.
  • Light touch shaping: Handle dough gently for best texture.

Variations

  • Strawberry Lemon Scones: Add 1 tablespoon lemon zest for a bright citrus twist.
  • Chocolate Strawberry Scones: Fold in 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • Vanilla Bean Upgrade: Swap vanilla extract for vanilla bean paste.
  • No Glaze Version: Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a crunchy finish.
