Strawberry Scone
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Bang {hitting the snooze button}.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
It's about 4:45 am on Monday morning and while listening to NPR's Morning Edition, I flip on the laptop.
When I look at my Google Reader, Irene's Confessions of a Tart Strawberry Scone pop out at me. I mean, arms coming out of the computer shaking you awake in the morning and screaming, "Make these now!"
Irene received her recipe from a friend and it's totally a winner!
I used 90% cream and a little buttermilk (because I ran out of cream!). I shaped mine in two small rounds and got 16 scones. I brought them to the library and they were gone in a flash.
When you hear the Beep. Beep. Beep. of your alarm, get up and make some scones!
what a delightful way to start a morning - both for the baker and the eater :D
ReplyDeleteI think i like more this scon with strawberries than the plain ones.
ReplyDeleteLooks yumm.
What I wouldn't give to have one of these RIGHT NOW!!! They look amazing.
ReplyDeleteIs it all right if I just stay asleep and DREAM of these gorgeous things? No. OK, I'll bake them. Seriously, though, I haven't always been happy with the baked goods I've made (muffins, quick bread) using strawberries...so I'm looking forward to trying these. And I love scones!
ReplyDeleteThese scones look extremely scrumptious! A deélightful treat!
ReplyDeletecheers,
Rosa
Those are some beautiful scones to start the day with :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, who doesn't love a great scone ! Woohoo...these look fabby and I really have to make them. Sooon !!
ReplyDeleteI love scones, and that's exactly how I make them-- with heavy cream. They are so easy and so delicious!! Yours are gorgeous with the fresh strawberries! I'm not surprised they got gobbled up right away at the Library. :) K
ReplyDeleteOh My! Going on my list of things to do with strawberries this year!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Those look SO good ... I absolutely must make them!
ReplyDeleteWe have Louisiana strawberries here - big, juicy and so sweet. Local is always best, isn't it?
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I am on a scone kick too!
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful. I don't think I will be making them at 4:45am but I will make them soon. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletep.s. come over and photograph my food. I hate doing it.
ReplyDeleteMary, I need one of those delicious looking scones to go with my coffee this morning --- YUM!
ReplyDeleteMmmm scones. These look so delicious and light.
ReplyDeleteDang. I just ate all my strawberries yesterday. Guess I'll have to buy more. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic.
Wow, you are an early riser! Those scones look marvelous.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, these look so beautiful! They are actually jumping out at me right now. Too bad I'm in the office, lol. I am so so glad Fumie's recipe worked for you as well! It was definitely given to me with love.
ReplyDeleteThose look absolutely wonderful! I love scones and I love strawberries. YUM.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, the one time I tried to make fresh strawberry scones, the strawberries were to waterey and I didn't end up with a great texture. What did you do to avoid the water issue?
I just finished the last of my strawberries from this week with breakfast this morning. Guess I will have to get more to make these ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI've never made scones, ever! But I bet this would be a good place to start! They look super delicious! :D
ReplyDeleteStrawberries are on sale! I can't wait try these scones!
ReplyDeleteThese look very good!
ReplyDeleteWhat were you doing up at 4:45 in the morning?
ReplyDeleteWell, the obvious answer is making scones - which is a perfectly good reason to be awake!
My gosh were those scones so delicious! They were so soft and unbelievably fresh! My gosh I thought I was in heaven. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeletei love strawberries and i love scones...i've got to make these!
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely. I'd never heard of using fresh strawberries (or any fresh fruit, for that matter) in a scone.
ReplyDeleteThey look incredible!
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious, and we're just starting to get good CA strawberries at my produce market. They're on the list!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck Mary? You baked FRESH SCONES at four thirty in the MORNING.
ReplyDeleteoverachiever!
(but really, I am just totally jealous!)
I was eying this on Irene's blog, too!! Your scones turned out so beautifully. They look delicate, crumby, but with a tender chewiness. I, too, just picked up some CA strawberries from the market (today, actually...and I had to carry them home on the train from San Fran to Berkeley, adn they were smelling soooo delicious). I need to definitely make these scones!
ReplyDeleteMust.make. I tried to make strawberry scones last year and failed miserably. I'll going to try this recipe, they just look so good!
ReplyDeletemmmm those look perfect for breakfast!
