Notes

*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g  to the measurement for each cup of flour.
  • After cutting the strawberries, be sure to dry them off! If they're still wet, it will add too much moisture to the dough and make it difficult to work with.
  • Mix the dough just until blended! You don't want to over-work the dough.
  • Do not place more than 4 scones per pan.
  • These scones are big! You can make them smaller, if you'd like, but that will change the baking time.
  • You can cut the scones into any shape, but this will also change the baking time.
