It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal day! I am excited about today. For some reason it seems like’s it been a long time since March’s reveal day when I made apple pancakes.
Today I am sharing a recipe for strawberry scones from Debby at A Feast for the Eyes.
I was excited to find her scone recipe. As I’m sure you can tell, I’ve been on a strawberry kick.
The scones are light and fluffy, and delicious warmed up with a big cup of coffee in the morning.
I had a lot of fun looking through Debby’s site. I wish I would have waited a week or two before making my recipe because now I am drooling over her pineapple jam! nom!

Strawberry Scones
Recipe from A Feast for the Eyes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold butter cut into cubes
- 2/3 cup cold half and half
- 2 tbsp turbinado sugar – to top the scones
To Make the Scones:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle chopped fruit with 1/2 tbsp sugar and set the berries aside.
- Combine the remaining sugar with the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly. Cut the butter into the dry mix until it forms a small crumb like mixture.
- Toss in the fruit then pour in all but 1 tbsp of the half and half into the bowl. Mix with a spatula until the dough holds together. Lightly knead the dough on a lightly floured surface.
- Shape the dough into a circle that is 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 6-8 slices and place each slice on the cookie sheet. Brush with the remaining half and half and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
- Bake 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are browning and the scones lightly spring back when touched. Serve warm. To store, wrap each scone in plastic and store them all in a plastic bag.

How lovely that you got my blog. I LOVE your blog. These scones are one of my faves, and I am anxiously awaiting for our locally grown organic strawberries to be ready– but not until May. I cannot get enough of strawberries. Thanks for doing such a great job. BTW, the pineapple jam is easy to make. Wink, wink.
LOVE strawberry scones!
I love scones any way you give them to me! I just had a eggnog one this morning that I had frozen from Christmastime. I just bought a big container of fresh strawberries…
Looks yummy! I am a big fan of scones! Big!!
Beautiful and just in time for strawberry season.
I’ve never made scones but have been tempted to. These sound great!!
I would love to dive in to a big bowl of that batter please!
YUMMY!
I would have picked this recipe. Why?
Because they’re freakin’ strawberry scones, that’s why! YUM!
Strawberries and Scones a perfect combination for me. This is a great recipe that we would just love! It is fun cooking with you in the SRC!

I already have some strawberries growing in my garden! I think I know what my first recipe will be.
I’m stopping by from SRC but be sure to stop by Seasonal Potluck this month. We have peas AND rhubarb link parties open! We’d love if you’d share any recipes you may have http://bit.ly/H9XJGB
Mmm! I love strawberry baked goods and these scones are so pretty!
I haven’t seen scones with fresh strawberries in before but these look delicious. They’d be great for afternoon tea with a little extra strawberry jam and a dollop of cream.
I could eat a lot of these!! yum
I’ve always wanted to try to make scones. I guess I’ve never got up the nerve for fear of them being too dry. These look wonderful and might just be the first recipe I try.
