Pioneer Woman Strawberries Scones Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very cold, cut into small cubes
• ½ cup heavy cream, very cold
• ¼ cup milk, very cold
• 1 large egg, very cold
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

How To Make Pioneer Woman Strawberries Scones

1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cut in the butter: Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or fingertips until coarse crumbs form.
3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the cold heavy cream, milk, and egg.
4. Form the dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
5. Add strawberries and shape: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick circle, and cut into 8 wedges.
6. Prepare for baking: Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with milk or egg wash and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
7. Bake the scones: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Cool and serve: Let cool briefly, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

• How to get flaky scones? Keep all ingredients very cold and handle the dough as little as possible.
• Can I use frozen strawberries? Yes, but do not thaw them first to avoid excess moisture.
• How to avoid dense scones? Do not overmix the dough once the wet ingredients are added.
• How to cut scones evenly? A bench scraper or sharp knife works best.
• Can I add a glaze? A simple powdered sugar and milk glaze works well once the scones cool.
