Strawberry Mascarpone Scones with Honey Milk Glaze
I don’t really remember what I had thought to say about this recipe. Lately I have so many thoughts swirling around my head and never a moment to write them down. As soon as my head hits the pillow the thoughts come rushing in and I know what I am going to say about what recipe, about what experience I had, about something a child did.
Strawberry Mascarpone Scones with Honey Milk Glaze
We love scones in my house. They are sweet enough to be a breakfast treat for the kids but not so full of sugar I don't feel good about serving them!
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 cup butter, sliced
- 1/2 c mascarpone cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 Tbs vanilla
- 2 Tbs honey
- 1 1/2 c strawberries, diced
Honey Milk Glaze
- 1/2 c powdered sugar
- 1 Tbs honey
- 2 tsp milk
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and zest. Mix well and set aside.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and honey. Using two knives, cut the mascarpone cheese and butter into the flour mixture.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the egg mixture and the strawberries. Gently stir until it forms together. Knead on a floured surface a few times – be gentle so you don’t squish the strawberries.
- Divide dough into two equal portions. Flatten into 8-inch rounds. Bake at 375 degrees F on a parchment paper-lined sheet for 20-30 minutes.
- In the meantime, combine powdered sugar, honey, and milk for the glaze. Set aside until scones have cooled. Cut each round into eights. Cool on a wired rack. When cooled completely, drizzle with glaze.

Did you use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe? I recently made a recipe with mascarpone cheese and have some extra I need to use.
Katie says
I usually use whatever I have on hand.

We love scones and make them frequently, but this is the best recipe I've ever tried! I made them for my family for Valentine's day breakfast and the recipe made enough for all of us (we have 6 children) but we wish there were more. I'll be making these again soon–thanks for the recipe! Oh, and I didn't have mascarpone cheese so I used cream cheese, and I used half whole wheat pastry flour and half all-purpose.

I'm a big fan of scones and of strawberries – and these scones look mighty tempting. What a lovely afternoon supper for summer! Grab my cup of tea and a scone and I'll be set!
