Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the chilled butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your scones tough.
-
Gently fold in the diced strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc, about 1 inch thick.
-
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
-
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one to allow for spreading.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
