Strawberry Bergamot Scones

Preheat oven to 375°F
Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix together. Cut butter into flour until mixture looks crumbly. The easiest way to do this is with a fork or with your hands, breaking up the butter into small pieces. Toss in strawberries.
In second bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, and flavourings. Pour this into the flour strawberry mixture. Stir with a fork to bring all the ingredients together until it looks like a ragged dough.
Turn dough out onto a floured counter. Lightly knead dough together and pat into a disk that is approximately 1½ inches tall.
Cut out scones using a 3” cookie cutter. If you don’t have a cookie cutter, cut into 3” squares.
Place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Brush tops of scones with whipping cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until browned and scones feel firm. Serve warm with violet cream

Notes

This is a great recipe for the novice baker because no special equipment in needed. The secret to delicious, flaky scones is not to over-mix the dough. It’s preferable for the dough to look a little ragged and not totally smooth

Meet Jackie

Following a career as a professional artist and interior designer, Jackie Troup and her husband moved to his family fruit farm in Jordan, Ontario. Cooking and baking had alway been a passion and hobby, and the new scenery of farm and garden was a wealth of inspiration – one that kickstarted a new path for Jackie and her love for food. Though not classically trained, she was a voracious reader of all things baking and cooking, and in 2009, Jackie started Blossom Bakery, a small wholesale company selling to local stores, farm stands, and farmers markets. The bakery went on to win the Town of Lincoln Small Business Award and Shannon Passero’s Women in Business Award.

Jackie’s love of developing recipes and creative flair turned to obsession while trying to meet the needs of the ever-growing vegan and gluten communities. The bakery has become a place where everyone can enjoy a tasty treat to suit any palate. Now a seasonal retail bakery on her family farm, customers can see where their food is made and what inspired their creation.
