5 STAR REVIEW
Homemade scones are easy to make and nothing like those tasteless dry bricks you get at your local coffee shop! If you’ve never had a decent scone, have no fear – make these strawberry scones and you’ll understand what you’ve been missing.
I’ve made these strawberry shortcake scones and my lemon blueberry scones so many times now – it’s really easy! And the results are a fantastic pastry, perfect for entertaining or a simple weekend breakfast. These strawberry scones are loosely based off of my master scones recipe, but with a strawberry shortcake twist. They are flaky, tender, full of flavor, and amazing.
Strawberry Shortcake Scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, , spooned and leveled
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, , cut into tiny cubes
- 10 small strawberries, , hulled and finely diced
- 3/4 cup half and half
For the glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender (or your hands) until mixture resembles crumbs. Toss in strawberries and coat lightly with the flour mixture.
- Add half and half and fold together gently until the mixture just begins to come together and forms a soft dough. It will be wet. (Do not knead or over mix the dough.)
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle or circle. (If dough is very sticky, sprinkle with just a hint of flour.)
- Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 (or 8) triangles.
- Place scones on prepared baking sheet and bake 16-18 minutes or until no longer wet, golden, and cooked through. (All ovens run differently.)
- Place a sheet of parchment on a work surface, then place a cooling rack over top of parchment. Remove scones from pan to cooling rack. Cool about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, make glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla, and half and half until smooth. (If glaze is too thick, add a bit more cream. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.)
- Gently dunk the tops of the scones in the glaze or drizzle over the top. (Glaze will firm up when scones are completely cool.) Eat and enjoy!

- How long do strawberry scones last? These strawberry scones will keep at room temperature for a day. After that, they need to be refrigerated in an airtight container and will keep for another 3 days.
- Can you freeze strawberry scones? Yes! Allow baked scones to cool completely, and freeze before topping with icing. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Warm in the microwave for about 20 seconds or on a baking sheet, tented with foil, in a 325 degrees F oven for 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool, then top with icing.
- Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes. You can form the dough, cover them, and then place in the refrigerator the night before baking.

My husband loved this recipe , everything turned out spectacular and the sweeter the strawberry the better.
OH my. I just made these scones because I had fresh strawberries. They are delicious and I’m so glad I saved this recipe. Just the right sweetness with the drizzle. I didn’t have half & half but I did have heavy cream and it worked just fine in the scones and the drizzle.. thank you for such a wonderful recipe.
Wonderful to find your page ! I enjoy learning with your recipes on TikTok! This is another winner! Thank you!
Delicious scone! Love this recipe, and my husband is already requesting that they go in our normal rotation of treats. I made the recipe as-is, except I macerated the berries and used the drained juice to make the glaze pink. They’re gorgeous, simple and oh, so tasty!
Y-U-M-M….Y-U-M-M…Y-U-M-M….we love scones and this is a keeper
Delightful scone recipe I will make again this week! THX

This recipe is amazing!! Try it with blueberry and lemon zest and you won’t regret it
Wow. I’ve had these on my to-do list for over a year and finally made them. I’m so mad it took me this long to get to them because they were so much easier than I ever imagined…and amazing. We LOVED them. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!

My sister made these and shared them! They are delicious! I’m going to try and make them. Also the Blueberry Lemon scones!
Can I use frozen strawberries?
These scones have the best taste and texture using fresh strawberries, but you could try it.
First time making scones and they were amazing!
I was out of half and half for the icing so I tried coffee creamers and it worked beautifully!
These were deeeelicious!
These were so yummy! I subbed earth balance butter and creamy oat milk and skipped the glaze this time. Can’t wait to make these again with farmers market strawberries!
Best breakfast treat…so soft & the strawberries really came through in the flavor!
I made this for my family. I was very nervous as I had not tried this before. They turned out well after all :) We loved them!!
Great recipe! And so easy! My husband loves it! He says they taste like a fancy pop tart!
These were FANTASTIC.
