Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups organic all-purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1 cup organic whole wheat pastry flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
  • ¼ cup pure cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold + cubed (Equal to 1 stick)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cold + cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup organic heavy whipping cream, plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped small

Vanilla Cinnamon Glaze:

  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 Tbsps heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Next add in the cubed butter and cream cheese and using with a fork or pastry cutter, dice everything together until the mixture resembles "peas-like crumbs".
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, egg, and vanilla extract and slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing well until fully combined. **NOTE: Add more heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dough is still too dry.**
  • Add in the strawberries, and fold them into the mixture gently.
  • Now, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle more flour on top, if needed. Then form the dough into a large semi-flat circle, (about ¼-1/2" thick), and cut into 8 even triangles.
  • Place each triangular piece of doughs onto the baking sheet (about 1 inch apart), and lightly brush the tops of each scone with heavy whipping cream.
  • Bake for about 15-17 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. In the meantime, make your Vanilla Cinnamon Glaze.

Vanilla Cinnamon Glaze:

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. **NOTE: If the glaze seems too thin, add in another ½ cup of powdered sugar. However, If it seems too thick, add in 1 additional tablespoon of heavy whipping cream.** Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Once done, remove scones from the oven and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the scones, and allow to set (about 5-10 minutes).
  • Garnish with extra fresh sliced strawberries, if desired. Enjoy!
  • Bon Appetite!

Notes

Scones can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply re-heat when ready to eat.
