Strawberry Cream Cheese Scones image

I am fortunate enough to not only live in the citrus belt of Florida, but to also live close to the strawberry fields of Plant City and the Florida Strawberry Festival.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 c all purpose flour
5 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c sugar
10 Tbsp butter-cut into small cubes
4 oz cream cheese-softened
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c strawberries-rough chopped
3/4 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter and cream cheese with a fork or pastry cutter. Carefully stir in vanilla extract and strawberries. Stir in buttermilk. Mixture will be somewhat loose and wet.
  • 2. Turn out onto a well floured work surface. Sprinkle surface of dough with a generous amount of flour. With well floured hands, pat down dough and shape into a narrow, but long rectangle, approximately 4-5 inches wide. You may have to add more flour around the edges.
  • 3. Using a well floured knife or bench scraper, cut dough into wedges. Place dough wedges onto a parchment or silpat lined cookie sheet. Make an egg wash from a beaten egg and half & half. Brush over each wedge and sprinkle with sugar.
  • 4. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown, but not totally hard. Do not overcook or your scones will be dry and hard.

I'm allergic to strawberries, so I substituted raspberries in the filling. They turned out great!

These scones were absolutely delicious! I made them for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. The strawberry cream cheese filling was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the scones themselves were light and fluffy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out flat and dense.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I overmixed the dough.
