Memorial Day is around the corner and summer will be here before you know it! I love this time of year in Southern California. It’s strawberry season! From the Strawberry Festival in Oxnard to the abundance of strawberries at farmers’ markets and roadside stands, I can’t get enough strawberries. Strawberry buttermilk scones are an easy and delicious way to take advantage of sweet fresh strawberries.
How to make Strawberry Buttermilk Scones:
Scones are made in the same fashion as biscuits and pie dough. Very cold butter is cut into the flour mixture and the dough comes together with the help of heavy cream. These scones are a little lighter than the average scone. Instead of heavy cream, we’re using buttermilk in this recipe. Buttermilk is wonderful in baked goods with fruit. There’s something about the tang of buttermilk that helps to enhance the sweetness of fruits.
Can you use frozen strawberries?
It’s best to use fresh strawberries for this recipe. Frozen strawberries will expel too much moisture, creating undesirable results.
These scones are simply topped with a sprinkling of Turbinado sugar. Feel free to use your favorite glaze, if desired. Enjoy!
