Ingredients

Strawberry Scones

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • 1/2 cup 35% cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup very cold butter, cubed
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 20 drops Hedessent Bergamot Flavouring
  • 15 drops Hedessent Strawberry Flavouring
  • 15 drops Hedessent Tahitian Bean Flavouring

  • 1 cup 35% cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 12 drops Hedessent Tahitian Bean Flavouring

Instructions

Violet Cream

  • In a bowl and whisk, 1 cup of cream, 2tbsp sugar, Hedesseent Violet and Tahitian Bean flavours until stiff peaks form. Whisk by hand or a hand or stand mixer. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

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
