Ingredients

  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 Tbls Sugar
  • 1 Tbls Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 5 Tbls Butter cold, cut into 1 Tablespoon pieces
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • ¼ Cup Strawberry Jam
  • Cup Strawberries diced
  • 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • Cup Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 
  • In a food processor, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the butter is in small pieces and the flour resembles cornmeal - it should be under 10 pulses. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and the strawberry jam, mix well, then add to the flour mixture along with the diced strawberries.
  • Fold the ingredients with a spatula until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and everything looks combined. Do not over mix.  
  • Transfer the scone dough onto a lightly floured surface and and gently shape the dough into a 10" circle.  Using a large sharp knife, cut into 8 or 10 wedges, then place onto a baking sheet about 1.5" apart.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.  
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. In the meantime, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and drizzle over the tops of the scones.
  • Serve slightly warm, and enjoy!
