Using a cookie cutter as a guide to shape and form the scones instead of rolling and cutting them out ensures tenderness.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes About 10 Servings

Ingredients

1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1¼ cups graham flour or whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
10 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 ounces strawberries, hulled, cut into 1/2" pieces (about 1 ½ cups)
3/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg yolk

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°. Pulse all-purpose flour, graham flour, baking powder, salt, and ¼ cup sugar in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until the texture of coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.

    Step 2

    Transfer mixture to a medium bowl, add strawberries, and toss to combine. Whisk milk and egg yolk in a small bowl. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients, and, using a fork, gently mix just to combine. Using your hands, gently knead a few times just until a shaggy dough comes together.

    Step 3

    Place a 2 ½x1" round cookie cutter on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently press about 1/8 of dough into the cutter (you want to pack dough enough to hold together but not so much that scones will be dense and heavy), then lift cutter straight up, leaving a neat round of dough. Repeat with remaining dough.

    Step 4

    Sprinkle scones with remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar. Chill in freezer 20 minutes (this will help scones hold their shape).

    Step 5

    Bake scones until golden brown, 25–30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly.

    Step 6

    DO AHEAD: Scones can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
