These delightful Fresh Strawberry Scones are a perfect treat for breakfast or afternoon. Packed with juicy strawberries, these scones have a light and flaky texture that pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for a burst of fruity goodness. Cooking Tips: Make sure to handle the dough gently to maintain the flaky texture of the scones. Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture. If the strawberries are particularly juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the dough. Serve the scones with whipped cream cheese or strawberry jam for an extra touch of indulgence.
