Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup ripe strawberries - cleaned, hulled, and diced

  • ½ cup light cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place diced strawberries onto paper towels to absorb liquid. Combine cream and vanilla extract in a small pitcher or measuring cup with a pour spout.

  3. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Stir in strawberries, gently tossing ingredients.

  4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour cream mixture into well and quickly stir just until dough is blended. Allow dough to rest for 2 minutes.

  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and satiny, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet and pat into an 8-inch round. Cut into eight wedge-shaped pieces using a serrated knife. Separate wedges on the baking sheet, spaced at least 1/2 inch apart.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until tops are light brown and crusty, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
