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.
