Why Use Fresh Strawberries Instead of Frozen?
When it comes to making the perfect strawberry scones, fresh strawberries are the way to go. Fresh strawberries offer a vibrant burst of flavor and a juicy texture that frozen strawberries simply can't match. Using fresh strawberries in your scone recipes ensures that each bite is infused with the sweet, natural essence of ripe strawberries, enhancing the overall taste of your homemade scones.
Moreover, fresh strawberries maintain their shape and texture better during the baking process. Frozen strawberries tend to release excess moisture as they thaw, which can lead to soggy scone dough and a less desirable texture. By using fresh strawberries, you ensure that your scones will have a delightful crumbly texture and a golden brown finish.
In addition, fresh strawberries add a beautiful, natural color to your scones, making them visually appealing and perfect for any breakfast or brunch setting. So, for a delicious recipe that highlights the best of what strawberries have to offer, always opt for fresh strawberries over frozen ones.

One: Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet
Begin heating your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. It's easier to have a prepared baking sheet before you are ready to bake the scone dough.

Two: Process the Flour & Butter
First, prepare the dry mixture by combining flour, salt, and baking powder in your food processor bowl or pastry blender. Pulse briefly to mix these ingredients together. Next, cut cold butter or coconut oil into pieces and add them to the flour mixture, pulsing for several seconds until the fat is fully incorporated throughout the flour. Set this mixture aside.
It's important to note that you want cold butter/coconut oil for this step. You can even freeze your unsalted butter before adding it to the mix!
Three: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate mixing bowl, create your wet ingredients by combining ground flax meal, cornstarch, water, milk, and honey. Stir these ingredients thoroughly until well combined, then set this mixture aside as well.
Four: Prepare the Fresh Strawberries
Now prepare the strawberries by removing the stems and quartering each berry. Add these chopped strawberry pieces to the flour mixture in your food processor. Pulse quickly 2-3 times, just for a second or two each time. These quick pulses will help coat the strawberries and break them into smaller pieces without pureeing them.

Five: Make & Shape the Batter
Pour the strawberry-flour mixture over your honey mixture and gently stir to combine. The resulting mixture will be crumbly. Add vodka one tablespoon at a time to make the dough more manageable. The vodka will evaporate during baking, creating a flakier scone texture.
Transfer this mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gently form it into a circle approximately 7-8 inches in diameter. If pieces flake off, add a small amount of vodka to help patch it together. Cut the circle in half, then cut each half in half to create four equal triangles. Finally, cut each of those triangles in half to create a total of eight triangle pieces. Transfer these triangles to a tray and refrigerate them for 30 minutes to chill.
Chilling the scone triangles before baking will help them hold their shape.

Six: Bake these amazing Strawberry Scones!
Once the dough has chilled, gently transfer the eight triangles to your prepared baking sheet. Create a wash by combining one tablespoon of plant-based milk with one teaspoon of melted butter in a small bowl. Brush the top of each scone with this mixture to create a golden crust during baking.
Bake the scones for 18-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool for several minutes before transferring.
Spring Honey is delicious in the glaze!
Seven: Honey Glaze
While the scones are baking, prepare your honey drizzle by combining powdered sugar with honey in a bowl. Stir these ingredients together and add just enough milk to achieve a spreadable consistency. Allow the scones to cool before drizzling.
The good news? You can add this honey drizzle to any scones recipe! That's right! If you're wondering how to make a strawberry drizzle for scones, add a crushed strawberry to this drizzle in place of the milk. It's delicious and will add flavor and color to your favorite scone recipes!
