Ingredients

SCONES:

  • 1 ¾ cups organic all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup organic rolled oats
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup VERY COLD unsalted butter, grated or cubed (See Notes!)
  • ½-3/4 cup COLD buttermilk (You can use heavy cream + 1 teaspoon lemon juice or SEE Notes for Dairy-free option)
  • 1 large egg, cold
  • 1 cup diced strawberries (Patted dry well and tossed in 1 tablespoon of flour)

STRAWBERRY GLAZE:

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2-3 Tbsps organic heavy cream (You can also use whole milk or heavy cream)
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry preserves or jam

OTHER:

  • 1 Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon milk whisked together)

Instructions

MAKE THE SCONES:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, and salt and whisk together until combined.
  • Add the cold butter pieces into the dry ingredients and using a fork, mix together until it resembles “peas”.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg, until combined and smooth. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix everything together using a spatula or your hands (working it together with one hand) until the dry ingredients are moistened and a ball can be created. NOTE: No need to create a ball just yet. You have to now add remaining ingredients.
  • Fold in the strawberries and gently press them into the dough.
  • Add the dough unto a floured surface, pat and shape dough into an 8-inch round circle. Using a very sharp knife (or pastry cutter), slice into 8 equal wedges (triangular shaped), dusting knife or pastry cutter with flour incase dough is on the stickier side.
  • Place each scone onto the prepped baking sheet and brush tops with a little egg wash. Bake for 13-15 minutes until tops are golden brown and the center comes out clean after inserting a toothpick.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely before adding glaze.

TO MAKE THE GLAZE:

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves/jam and heavy cream, until combined and smooth. NOTE: If the glaze seems too thin, add in another ½ cup of powdered sugar. However, If it seems too thick, add an additional 1 tablespoon of milk.
  • Once cooled, drizzle the glaze atop each scone, and allow it to set for about 3-4 minutes so that it hardens.
  • Garnish with oats and/or fresh sliced strawberries, if desired.
  • Bon Appetit!

Notes

  • STORAGE: Leftovers can be stored in an air-tight container and refrigerated for 1-2 days for best taste. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to serve.
  • GRATED BUTTER: If you choose to grate your butter instead of cubing it, add the stick to a freezer for 15 minutes. Remove from freezer and using a grater, grate into pieces.
  • STRAWBERRIES: If using frozen or fresh strawberries, be sure to toss them in 1 tablespoon of arrowroot starch or flour before folding them into the scone batter. This creates a barrier with the moisture to ensure that your scones don't spread as much and cooks through.
