These Strawberry Yogurt Scones are a delightful twist on the classic scone, combining tender whole-milk Greek yogurt dough with fresh diced strawberries for a moist, flavorful treat. Finished with a sweet and tangy glaze made from powdered freeze-dried strawberries, these scones bake to a perfect golden brown, making them an ideal breakfast or afternoon snack.

  • Total Time: 40-50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 scones

Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
  • ⅓ cup (67 grams) granulated sugar (or sub coconut sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) VERY COLD salted butter, diced into ½-inch cubes
  • ¾ cup (169 grams) plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons (60 to 90 grams) milk of choice, as needed, plus 2 tablespoons for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Strawberries

  • 1 cup (150 grams) diced strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Glaze

  • ¼ cup freeze dried strawberries
  • ¼ cup (28 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1-3 tablespoons milk of choice, to thin glaze for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, squeeze the VERY COLD butter into the flour mixture until it resembles pea-sized clumps. Keep everything cold; if butter softens too much, freeze mixture for 5 minutes before continuing.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, 4 tablespoons of milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  4. Mix dough: Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in wet mixture, and stir until just combined into a moist, sticky dough. Adjust consistency by adding remaining milk or more flour, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, as needed.
  5. Add strawberries: Toss diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent bleeding, then gently fold into the dough until evenly incorporated.
  6. Shape dough: Lightly flour a work surface and turn out the dough. Knead a few times until just coming together. Pat and press the dough into an 8-inch circle about ¾-inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 15-20 minutes in the freezer or 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  7. Preheat oven: While chilling, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Cut and prepare scones: Remove chilled dough and cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of milk to promote browning.
  9. Bake: Bake scones for 20 to 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Make glaze: In a small high-powered blender, powder the freeze-dried strawberries until fine. Combine powdered strawberries, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl. Thin glaze with more milk as needed until it is thick but drizzleable.
  11. Glaze and garnish: Drizzle glaze over cooled scones and garnish with extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries if desired.
  12. Storage: Store scones covered at room temperature for 1-2 days, then move to the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Keep the butter and flour mixture cold to ensure flaky scones.
  • Adjust the dough moisture by adding milk or flour incrementally to achieve the right consistency.
  • Freezing or refrigerating the dough before baking helps the scones hold their shape.
  • Use frozen or fresh freeze-dried strawberries for the glaze for an intense flavor and beautiful color.
  • Scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in a warm oven or toaster oven.
