A Simple Guide to Fluffy Strawberry Butter Scones


  • Author: Fati
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 9 biscuits 1x

Description

Moist, buttery, and fluffy biscuits baked in melted butter, paired with sweet macerated strawberries and homemade whipped cream for a comforting Southern-inspired treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ¾ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for macerating strawberries)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and stir gently until just combined; dough will be sticky and lumpy.
  4. Pour melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  5. Drop dough into buttered dish and gently spread to fill corners without pressing.
  6. Score dough into 9 even squares using a sharp knife.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and edges are crisp.
  8. While baking, macerate strawberries by mixing sliced berries with 2 tbsp sugar; let sit 15–20 minutes.
  9. Whip heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  10. Let biscuits cool 5–10 minutes, then serve topped with macerated strawberries and whipped cream.

Notes

Avoid overmixing dough to keep biscuits tender. Use heavy cream for richness and proper rise. Do not grease baking dish; melted butter provides natural non-stick and flavor. Score dough to help biscuits rise individually. Macerate strawberries to enhance sweetness and juiciness. Whip cream until stiff peaks for best topping texture.
