Strawberries and Cream Scones
Strawberries and Cream Scones are fluffy, buttery little bites loaded with fresh strawberries and whipping cream, and then drizzled with a simple sweet glaze. Great with a cup of coffee!
Update March 2017 - I used to participate in a monthly recipe swap with some other bloggers and this recipe was a part of that! The original Sweetheart Strawberries and Cream Scones Recipe came from Krista at A Handful of Everything. I took some time to update this post a bit, but the recipe is as good as it ever was - totally worth trying!
These scones are perfectly tender and flaky - and they are so pretty in pink!
You all know I am all about breakfast foods. Sweet, carby breakfast foods? Even better. But forget about me for a minute. Let's talk about the little boys. I made the first test-batch of these scones and my boys INHALED them.
Which says a lot because they aren't usually scone-type of guys. They are let's-see-how-much-cereal-we-can-fit-in-one-bowl guys. Or Mommy-can-I-have-more-pancakes guys. They are also ketchup-on-scrambled-egg guys. (so gross)
Little pink scone guys? I didn't see that coming.
But they looooved them. And I did, too. These little bitty buttery scones are tender, soft, and loaded with fresh strawberry flavor. They are perfect for a quick breakfast with a swig of iced coffee and would be great to take for a brunch or shower.
Or you could feed hungry boys.
Strawberries and Cream Scones
Strawberries and Cream Scones are fluffy, buttery little bites loaded with fresh strawberries and whipping cream, and then drizzled with a simple sweet glaze. Great with a cup of coffee!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons strawberry jell-o powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup cold butter
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease the baking sheet).
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, jell-o powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the COLD butter into the dry mixture-- my favorite method for this is tu grate the cold butter into the bowl using a cheese grater. It gives you small easy-to-work-with pieces. Then I just mix it with my fingers until coarse buttery crumbs form.
- Toss the strawberries into the dry mixture and gently stir to coat.
- In a small bowl lightly beat the egg with the vanilla and heavy cream. Pour it unto the dry mixture. Fold it in with a rubber spatula until it is JUST combined. The less you work this dough the better your scones will be. Overworking scone dough can make them tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly knead (no more than 8 or 10 times) to incorporate the remaining dry bits.
- Pat the dough out to about ¾ an inch thick (this is not precise but it will rise quite a bit) and cut using a floured biscuit cutter, a small floured glass (like a shot glass), or a knife (you could opt for a more traditional scone triangle shape if you use a knife).
- Place the cut out dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- While the scones bake, mix together the powdered sugar and milk to make a thick simple glaze.
- When you take the scones from the oven, drizzle them with the glaze.
- Best served the same day.

Your scones look great! Good thing strawberries are still in season - I might need to make some. 🙂
Thanks! I hope you will!
These scones are so sweet Heather! Love the colour. We don't have Jello powder over here but I do have Strawberry Nesquick milkshake powder. Do you think that would work instead in this recipe? 🙂
Hey!
I'd bet the Nesquick powder would work just fine. I think the purpose was just to add a bit of strawberry flavor + pretty pink color to the scones... but the fresh strawberries REALLY stand out in a delicious way and I think these would be just as good without any added powder altogether!
Believe it or not I had my first scone just about 3 weeks ago. It was cheddar bacon. I have been searching for recipes on scones ever since. These look delicious. Thanks for the recipe.---
Cheddar bacon sounds DELICIOUS! These are really good and it really is a great simple recipe-- hope you'll try!
They are so pink and perfect!! Love these....
Thanks!
I love that these are pink (of course I do!) As for ketchup on scrambled eggs...well, not sure about scrambled eggs, but I aLWAYS had (prob still would if I ever made them!) ketchup with omelettes growing up! Weird and wrong, but somehow still tasty!!
Ketchup on omelets is THE SAME as ketchup on scrambled eggs! You are in the club with my boys.
I can see why your boys inhaled these little scones! I would too!
They were like magic disappearing scones.
These scones are sooo cute and with that drizzle, it's heaven! 🙂
Cheers

Thanks, Uru!
I had you for the swap! Thanks for a great recipe and the scones look great!
Hi, Ashley! Thanks!
This looks fabulous! I have Cherry Jello here - I might give it a try with that 🙂
The dripping glaze makes me drool!
I think any flavor would work-- get creative & go crazy! Like wouldn't lemon be good with the strawberries?
Yum! Your photos are so purty and that glaze looks amazing too! This is definitely my kinda scone. And I agree.... ew to ketchup on eggs!! Great SRS pick 🙂
Thanks, Desi!
I would totally recommend this recipe-- really easy and definitely delicious.
EW to ketchup on eggs is right!
I am so excited to have my recipe featured here!!! I'm even more excited that you liked them 🙂 That is my goal. Make good food that pleases everyone in the house, especially the kiddos! I love that you make them in little rounds. They are the perfect little treat 🙂 Krista @ A Handful of Everything
Hi, Krista!
Thanks so much for such a delicious and awesomely versatile recipe.
I've already gotten a couple of emails about substituting blueberries, blackberries, and peaches!
These were crowd pleasers for sure.
These look so good! Thanks for the tips on making scones, too!
Thanks, Cindy!
Scones can take a minute to get the hang of-- those are a couple of tried and true tricks that never fail.
Also I am basically thrilled to read about your Mocha Oreo Milkshake. WOW!
