Orange Glazed Strawberry Scones

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read the disclosure policy.

Yesterday morning for Easter I made these tender and moist strawberry scones. They were a huge hit with my family and were gone in a flash. The diced strawberries and a hint of orange adds a fresh spring flavor to these buttery scones.

When I saw these delicious scones back in February on Le Petit Brioche’s blog, I immediately bookmarked the recipe. Since strawberries are beginning to come into season, they have been super cheap at the grocery stores so I picked up a few pints just for these scones. I am sure glad that I did! These scones are so moist and tender and chock full of ripe luscious strawberries.
