Creating this Strawberry Scone Recipe
I could hardly resist the big, beautiful strawberries on display for Valentine’s Day in the grocery store last week.
I walked past them three times. Thought that I’d avoided them before I turned around and bee-lined it right back to the display. SIGH.
And then I walked past a bag of Meyer Lemons. With those added to my cart along side the rouge berries, these Strawberry Scones with Meyer Lemon were practically begging to be made.

Strawberry Scones for Spring Strawberry Season
I am itching for Spring to be here. It’s been on the warmer side of the thermometer this week too and that always does a number on me. You can’t help but feel that Spring is on it’s way with weather in the 60’s.
But, knowing the weather this time of year in New Mexico, Mother Nature is just being a tease.
I am ready for light and bright tasting foods. Colorful fruits and vegetables. I want to see things sprouting in the garden again. Hear the kids laughing and playing outside.
Oh and let’s not forget how nice it is to actually have LIGHT after 5:00 pm. In a nutshell: I am so over winter.
As over winter as I am, I’ll be in the exact opposite predicament 7 or so months from now.
I’ll be tired of summer and reader for cool air (though I am never, ever ready for it to be dark at 5 pm). I’ll be done with garden fresh summer tomatoes and ready for fall an winter comfort food.
In the meantime, please, bring on the Spring!

Kitchen Tools for Making Strawberry Scones
Here’s a quick list of some of the different kitchen tools you’ll need to prepare this easy recipe for homemade strawberry scones:
- Large Bowl – use a large bowl to combine all of the dry ingredients.
- Small Bowl – a smaller bowl to combine the wet ingredients.
- Wire Whisk – sift the dry ingredients together and combine the wet ingredients using a wire whisk.
- Pastry Blender – cut the butter into the flour when making this strawberry scone recipe using a pastry blender.
- Wooden Spoon – a wooden spoon is used to gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

- Parchment Paper – I like to lining pans with parchment paper so the strawberry scones don’t stick.
- Baking Sheet – use a large baking sheet to bake the scones on.

Tips for Making the Best Strawberry Scone
Want to know the secret to making the best scones? Here are a few tips to use when preparing these homemade scones:
Don’t use soft butter. The best scones are tender scones, and cold butter is necessary for that. You can even use frozen butter so it doesn’t warm too much while you’re preparing the dough.
Proper Flour Measuring Technique. Using too much flour is another reason that a good scone recipe can turn out dry. Proper measuring technique – fluff, scoop, and level. Or, you can use a kitchen scale and weigh 4.5 ounces per cup of all-purpose flour.
The dough should be lumpy with a crumbly texture when making a recipe for scones. You don’t want the dough to be smooth and thoroughly mixed like a cookie dough.
Don’t over mix the dough when you’re preparing these strawberry scones. Mixing the dough gently until just combined will help you achieve those tender scones.
Chill the dough before baking. Cold ingredients (especially the butter) are key to making a flakey scone. Before baking a recipe for scones pop them in the freezer while your oven preheats. This will help firm up those small bits of butter.
This strawberry scone recipe taste best day of. If you need to make them ahead of time, it is best to just prepare the scone dough in advance (store it in the refrigerator or freezer) and bake the scones shortly before you plan to serve them so they’re fresh.
Don’t over bake these strawberry scones. Unfortunately, over baking is a common cause of dry scones.

Strawberry Scones: FAQs
Got questions about how to make this recipe for glazed strawberry scones? Here are the answers to a few commonly asked questions. Feel free to leave any other questions in the comments on this post and I’ll respond with answers.
Is it Okay to Substitute Frozen Strawberries?
Normally I recommend thawing frozen berries before using them in place of fresh berries when baking. This recipe for strawberry scones in an exception.
Thawed, frozen strawberries cab become mushy in texture which makes them more difficult to stir into the scone mixture without smashing them. In fact, frozen strawberries will hold their shape eve better than their fresh counterparts if you’re worried about that!
In addition, the scone dough will not be negatively impacted by adding cold strawberries rather than room temperature strawberries.
The only change you’ll need to make is to toss the frozen strawberries with about 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour before adding them to the recipe. The flour will help absorb any extra moisture the berries release as they cook.
Can I Make these Strawberry Scones Gluten-Free?
I have not personally tested that variation of this recipe.
If you wish to experiment with a gluten-free strawberry scone, my recommendation is to substitute equal parts of cup-for-cup gluten-free flour alternative and almond flour in place of the all-purpose flour.
Use 2 cups of each flour type for a total of 4 cups. Make sure to sift them together well.
Can I Make this Strawberry Scone Recipe Dairy-Free?
I haven’t tested a dairy-free version of this recipe, but here are my recommendations based on pasts experiences:
Substitute your favorite non-dairy milk for the whole milk. I recommend almond milk or oat milk for this recipe. Make sure you use unsweetened, otherwise the dough may turn out too sweet.
Substitute vegan butter in place of the dairy butter. Make sure that your butter substitute is nice and cold when making the scone dough.
I recommend freezing the butter substitute before preparing the scones and then putting the crumbly flour mixture (with the vegan butter added) in the freezer for about 15 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
What is the Best Way to Store Leftover Strawberry Scones?
For leftovers, I recommend placing them in a single layer in an airtight container. Then transfer the sealed container to a cool, dry place, such as a pantry.
Eat any leftovers stored at room temperature within about 2-3 days for best results.

How to Freeze this Strawberry Scone Recipe

To freeze unbaked strawberry scones:

- When the scones are frozen, remove them from the tray and transfer them to a your preferred storage method.
- Then, place them in the freezer.

Strawberry Scones with Meyer Lemon
With fresh strawberries and a bag of Meyer lemons added to my grocery cart, these Strawberry Scones with Meyer Lemon were practically begging to be made.
Ingredients
For the scones:
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- Zest of 3 Meyer Lemons
- 1 cup cold Butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/3 cup Meyer Lemon Juice
- 1/3 cup Whole Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup fresh Strawberries, chopped
For the Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons Melted Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Instructions
Recipe Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Making the Strawberry Scone Dough
- Zest the lemons and combine with the sugar in a small bowl. Using your fingers, rub the sugar and zest together to combine. This will help release the oils and aroma of the Meyer lemons.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar (combined with zest), and salt.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, lemon juice, buttermilk, and vanilla together.
- Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until the dough is moist, but do not over mix. Gently fold in the strawberries.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead a couple of times until the texture is more uniform and the dry bits have been incorporated.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal balls.
- After that, pat each ball into an 8-inch circle. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Score each circle with a knife or bench scraper into 6 wedges. Place cut scones on the prepared baking sheets.
Baking the Strawberry Scones
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15-20 (for cut scones) or 30-40 minutes (for the 8-inch circle), or until done and lightly golden.
- Allow the scones to cool completely.
Glazing the Strawberry Scones
- Meanwhile, stir powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest together.
- Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet or a sheet of parchment paper. Then, place the scones on top of the cooling rack.
- Drizzle the glaze over cooled scones. Garnish with a lemon peel curl or slice of strawberry, if desired.
- Let the glaze harden.
Notes
Storing Leftovers
Place leftover strawberry scones in a single layer in an airtight container. Then transfer the sealed container to a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Eat any leftovers stored at room temperature within about 2-3 days for best results.

I know just what you mean. I’m tired of winter, too, and these lovely strawberry scones just shout springtime. And, I adore Meyer lemons. They’re so much tastier than regular lemons, and so pretty to boot. Beautiful post!
Kristina says
I want to dive into your photos so badly and… I don’t even know what. The scones look amazing and they’re right up my alley but I don’t think I want to eat them—they’re too pretty. I just want to, like, smell them and hold them for a while. The scones and I can sit in the sun together and talk about what a beautiful day is and maybe about baking some more scones at some point, but mostly we’ll just sit around. I think I would like that.

Meyer lemons always scream sunshine to me! Bring on the the sunshine and springtime weather!

I’ve got the meyer lemons for these babies in the fridge. A gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free version might just be tomorrow’s breakfast.

With your scones and Kristen’s biscuits, I’m set for weekend brunch. Thanks!

Delicious, and the perfect way to urge spring to gently come here. 🙂

Perfect for a Sunday brunch! We usually have my in-laws over for an Easter Brunch or Mother’s Day brunch, I’ll have to add this to my menu!
