Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gently fold the sour cream mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky and crumbly.

Step 6

Carefully fold in the diced strawberries, being cautious not to overmix, as strawberries can release excess moisture.

Step 7

Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Strawberry Sour Cream Scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
