Can I use frozen strawberries for this fluffy scones recipe?

If you are making these fluffy scones, if you do not have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries. Make sure the strawberries are thawed and sried as best as possible. Using frozen strawberries will give you the strawberry flavor but it will change the texture of the strawberries in the scone.

Can these be made as drop scones?

Drop scones, which are also called  Scotch Pancakes, is like a small thick pancake. If you want to make these into drop scones, you can easily change them to strawberry scotch pancakes. Since these are cooked differently than scones, you will have to play with the cook times when frying them in oil.

If you’ve never made scones from scratch before there are a few things to remember to ensure you’ll get the moist, tender scone you’re craving:

• Make sure all of your ingredients (both fats and liquids) remain cold. If it’s a hot day freeze the butter before proceeding.
• Don’t overwork the dough. Over-working the dough will cause the scones to be dry and tough.
• Keep the scones as cold as possible until they are ready to go into the oven.

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon cream in small bowl; set aside. Whisk remaining egg, remaining 1/4 cup cream, buttermilk, and vanilla together in medium bowl.
• Place flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process with six 1-second pulses. Add butter and pulse into flour until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, about ten 1-second pulses. Transfer mixture to large bowl and make well in the center. Add buttermilk mixture and stir until batter forms moist clumps. Gently stir in strawberries.
• Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface and knead gently until dough comes together and is smooth, about 10 seconds. Pat dough into 7-inch circle about 1 inch thick. Using sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut circle into 8 wedges. With pastry brush, remove excess flour from wedges. Transfer wedges to prepared baking sheet. Place in refrigerator 10 minutes. Remove from refrigerator, brush tops with egg and cream glaze, and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake until lightly browned and toothpick inserted in center of scones comes out with a few crumbs attached, about 15 minutes. Transfer scones to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

To Make Ahead: Freeze the unbaked scones on a baking sheet until firm, tightly wrap in plastic wrap and place in a ziploc freezer bag. When ready to bake just pop into the oven straight from the freezer, no need to thaw….just add a few more minutes to the baking time.
