Course: Baking, Breakfast, Dessert
Cuisine: Baking
Keyword: baking, morning pastry, strawberry scones
Servings: 8 people

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Diced strawberries
  • 1 ½ cup Self rising flour (Refer to recipe tips if using AP flour)
  • ½ cup Monk fruit sweetener with erythritol (use ⅔ cup for sweeter scones)
  • ¼ cup Light butter substitute (I used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Light)
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 ½ tbsp Skim milk (or unsweetened plain almond milk)
  • 1 ½ tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Measure the butter substitute and freeze it for a few minutes to firm it up.
  • Once ready, combine the self-rising flour and sweetener. Mix with your hands to combine. Cut in the butter, working with your hands until the butter becomes pea-sized flakes.
  • Make a well in the center and add the yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Gently combine the mixture with your hands.
  • When it is nearly combined, add the chopped fruit. Gently mix everything until the dough is formed. Be careful not to overmix, as it will make the scones tough. If you find there’s extra flour on the bottom of the bowl, you can add  ½ tbsp of water just to bring it together.
  • Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper and place another piece on top. Use your hands or a rolling pin to make it about 3/4 of an inch thick and form it into a circular shape.
  • Freeze the dough for 20 to 30 minutes until firmer. Cut it into 8 equal triangles, then spread them out on a parchment or foil-lined baking tray, leaving some room in between them. You can optionally egg wash them.
  • Bake the scones for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown. If you flip one over and tap on it, it should feel hollow rather than heavy inside.
  • These are best served warm! If you plan to reheat them the next day, I recommend microwaving them before enjoying them.
