Strawberry Lemon Cream Scones

Thank you Lipton Tea for sponsoring this post! Cozy up with a hot cup of Lipton's new black and herbal varieties and improved green teas to refresh your tea experience today.

These simple scones are filled with sweet strawberries and tangy lemon flavor to make the perfect addition to a cup of Lipton tea!

They’re about as sunny and bright as Southern Cali has been these past few weeks, making it feel more like spring than winter around these parts.

I figure, if the weather is going to be sunny and bright, why shouldn’t my breakfast? I’m typically an oatmeal person in the mornings (as previously discussed, I’m 80 years old), but some days just call for something a little bit sweet, which in this case happened to be strawberry lemon cream scones.

Ingredients
Scones

• 2 cups + 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp lemon zest
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed and cold
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream plus more for brushing
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup strawberries finely chopped*

Glaze

• 1 - 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest optional--it makes the glaze extra lemony!

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, mix together flour, white sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Once combined, cut in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Whisk together heavy cream, sour cream, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
• Stir in the strawberries* and mix until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and pat into a 1" thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles.
• Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream, and bake for 15-16 minutes, or until scones are golden brown.
