Glazed Strawberry Scones: They are SURE to be your new favorite strawberry recipe. A delicious way to use fresh or frozen strawberries!
I love the early summer. Early summer brings strawberry season, and we are so grateful to have a strawberry farm near us! My mom and I often go grab a gallon or two on the weekends at the local stands. Josh has even joined in on the fun of picking up strawberries when he is out!

One of our favorite things to make with our freshly picked strawberries is these glazed strawberry scones. They are the perfect afternoon snack, with a glass of cold milk or a cup of tea. A great grab and go breakfast as well, strawberry scones are light and flaky.
While this recipe uses freshly picked berries, if you want to use frozen, you can. Simply thaw them out and drain before adding to the dough. You will want to make sure to drain thoroughly, or the dough will be too moist and not bake up correctly.
Other baking tips for these glazed strawberry scones:
- Don’t overwork the dough, mix it until just well combined. Overworking the dough can lead to tough scones.
- Only add enough flour to keep the dough together. It will be sticky and the temptation will be to add more. DON’T. Too much flour can lead to tough and “heavy” scones.
- Use wet hands when patting into a circle to keep from sticking.
- Cut the scones BEFORE placing into the oven, but don’t separate them until after they have finished the first bake cycle. This will help keep the edges cleaner and it will make them easier to separate.
