Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 quart strawberries, rinsed, hulled and thinly sliced
5 tablespoons sugar, plus more to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup melted vegetable shortening or salad oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Sweetened whipped cream for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar (plus more to taste) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of the sugar into a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, shortening, egg, milk and baking soda. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until the dough just holds together. Roll or pat the dough to a circle about 1/2inch thick. In a cup, combine the lemon zest and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and sprinkle it over the circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and transfer them to a shiny, lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly. When ready to serve, split the scones in half, top the bottom half with a generous serving of berries, cover with the top half and garnish with whipped cream.
