Calories: 324kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/3 Cup butter
- 2/3 Cup milk
- 1 Egg lightly whisked for brushing
- 1 Cup whipping cream
- 1 Pint strawberries roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a baking tray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk lightly to combine. Cut in butter and use the tips of your fingers to incorporate it until it resembles a bread crumb mixture. Add milk all at once and stir until it comes together as a dough. Don't over mix.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and lightly press it out with your hands. With a small 2 inch circle cutter, cut out 8 scones. With a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Place on your baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Place whipping cream in a large bowl and beat on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Cut scones in half, top with cream and strawberries. Ready to serve.
- Note: Put scones together just before serving them for best results
