Strawberry Inspiration Scones

  • Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

  • Divide the dough into 24 pieces and shape into rounds 1.5” thick. 
  • Separate onto 2 baking pans lined with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together 1 egg and 1/8 cup cream to create the egg wash. Brush the scones with egg wash then sprinkle with raw sugar or sanding sugar if desired.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for about 15 minutes (rotating as needed).

Strawberry Inspiration Spread:

  • Place the strawberries and sugar in a saucepan. Cook on medium-low heat until it boils and slightly thickens.
  • Remove from the heat and add the  Strawberry Inspiration.
  • Use an immersion blender to mix.
  • Allow to cool and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Whipped Crème Fraiche:

  • Place the crème fraiche, cream, and sugar into a stand mixer.
  • Whip until light and creamy (do not over whip).
