Strawberry Scones


Strawberry scones are something I've been making for many a summer now. It's just the perfect summer breakfast sweet. In the past I've always used a very basic recipe like this one. But for this batch I used this one, since we were running low on milk, and also it called for grating frozen butter (which I'm sure you could do in any scone recipe) and that sounded like a good idea. 



I made a double batch and didn't have quite enough sour cream, so I used a mixture of the items shown above. Trust me, the scones did not suffer from this choice! pictured below is my laziness when it comes to mixing ingredients  This recipe can pretty much be made in a food processor or hand mixed. Since I don't have a food processor, I opted for using my stand mixer very carefully, and scraping it down a lot. While not optimal, it all turned out fine. 



Yum, yum strawberries!



 I bake them on parchment paper, and just cut them and seperated them a little bit. Once cooked they will have reunited, but are easy to cut apart. These are one of my favorite things to bake and everyone seems to like them quite a bit. A word of caution, I freeze whatever I don't think will get eaten within about two days, because the strawberries go bad pretty quick once they'r in this form. So gobble them up quick, quick, or freeze some for later! See you next Tuesday!
