What ingredients do I need to make Strawberry Cream Cheese Scones?

• all-purpose flour
• sugar
• baking powder
• salt – I use always use kosher, but table salt is fine, too.
• lemon zest – one lemon will be fine, about one teaspoon
• unsalted butter – make sure it’s CHILLED! You want that butter to be in small pieces in the dough.
  You can also substitute shortening if you’re doing dairy-free.
• cream cheese – same as the butter – COLD!!
• diced fresh strawberries – you can use frozen, just make sure you completely thaw them and dry them well with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture before dicing.
• egg
• milk – can use a dairy alternative if you’d like to substitute
• Turbinado or raw sugar for sprinkling before baking

How do I make strawberry scones with cream cheese?

• Place a piece of parchment onto a baking sheet and preheat your oven to 425°F.
• Sift the flour BEFORE you measure the 1 ¾ cups called for
  This recipe calls for sifted flour, so what you need to do is measure a little more than 1 ¾ cups of flour into a fine sieve or sifter. Sift that and then measure the 1 ¾ cups to be used in the recipe.
  There WILL be some left over because through sifting, you are aerating the flour and by doing so the volume changes. I use the amount left over plus a little more if needed for my work surface when I cut the scones.
• After sifting the flour, put the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into the sifter and sift them into a large bowl.
• Add the lemon zest and toss to coat.
• Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the cold butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture. until it forms a coarse meal.
• Add the egg, strawberries, and milk. Mix together with a fork until it all comes together forming a soft dough.
• Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and pat the dough down into a circle that measures about a ½-inch in thickness.
• With a 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out the scones and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any dough scraps and repeat, being careful not to overwork the dough.
• Sprinkle each scone with some Turbinado sugar, if desired and bake for 12 minutes. Place them onto a wire rack to cool for a couple of minutes before serving them warm.
