2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams) | |
1 teaspoon baking powder (4 grams) | |
1 teaspoon baking soda (3 grams) | |
½ teaspoon salt (2 grams) | |
¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams) | |

1. | Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. |
2. | In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, soda, salt, sugar, and lemon zest. Add the cubed butter and use a knife or pastry blender to cut it into the dry ingredients until the butter is the size of small peas. Add the yogurt and strawberries and stir with a wooden spoon gently until just combined. Do not over mix. |
3. | Bring the mixture together into a ball with your hands and on a lightly floured surface pat into a square 2 inches thick. Cut into 8 triangular scones. Place on prepared sheet pan and brush tops with egg wash. |
4. | Bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. |
5. | Make a glaze by combining the lemon juice and powdered sugar. Drizzle on the cooled scones. |
6. | Scones are best the day they are made, but will keep in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. |
