Strawberry Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or knife.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and almond extract. Blend the wet mixture into the dry mixture until combined.
-
By hand, add the strawberries and gently knead the dough 5 or 6 times to mix in the berries. Grease a large baking pan with spray and place the dough ball in the center.
-
Mash the dough into a flat disc about 1 inch high. Whisk together the beaten egg and brown sugar and brush the glaze over the top of the dough disc.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough like a pizza or pie into 8 wedge slices. Move each piece so they are approximately 2 inches apart. Bake for 16 to 22 minutes until golden brown.
