Directions
Strawberry and Cream Scones,These tender scones, studded with fresh strawberries, sport an unusual glaze. Based on granulated sugar rather than confectioners’, and tinted gold by a very high percentage of vanilla, the topping gives the scones a nicely crunchy finish. They’re the perfect vehicle for a dollop of double Devon cream and a dab of jam (try strawberry-rhubarb or my strawberry jam recipe #388115). Strawberry and Cream Scones are great served warm, slathered in Honey Thyme Butter recipe #428651 or my Homemade Lemon Clotted Cream recipe #453683. From KingArthurRecipes.com.,Whichever reviewer said these are like strawberry shortcakes was right on. Like the classic biscuit kind topped with fresh whipped cream. I baked mine too long and they were still amazing. My husband and I ate half of them on a Sunday morning and had to give the rest away so we wouldn’t eat them all. I made the strawberry butter from recipe #283073 to spread on them which was the icing on the cake. Am making them again now and will certainly come back to this recipe again and again. Thanks for posting!,I didn’t change a thing in the ingredients. And they turned out so good. Even my son likes them. Thanks Bec 🙂 Made for Name that ingredient tag game
