We have friends coming from Oregon today! I have been busy with work, but I wanted to make something ahead of time for a breakfast or snack/dessert item with all of my Strawberries.
Scones instantly came to mind, but I wanted to make Fresh Strawberry Scones. I had a heck of a time finding any recipe that suited what I wanted to make. I tend to not like anything with cooked chunks of fruit, and wanting to use fresh strawberries, not jam. I just wanted the flavor of my fresh strawberries to come through. Finally after going through a ton of recipes that just were not going to work, I created my own
scones aux fraises
or simply translated:
Strawberry Scones
2 cups gluten free flour
3 TB. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
4 TB. butter, cold, cut into 1/2 in. cubes
3/4 cup Pureed strawberries
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Glaze
leftover strawberry puree (just a hint that is left after you poured it into the bowl)
add:
2 TB. half and half
confectioner's sugar
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Stir together dry ingredients. With a pastry cutter , cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in strawberry puree and 1/4 cup yogurt.
3. Turn dough onto floured surface and with floured hands, knead a few times. Press dough into a rectangle, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Fold Rectangle into thirds, like a letter. Cut into 8 equal triangles.
4. Place scones into scone pan or on a cookie sheet
5. Whisk strawberry leftovers, confectioner's sugar into half and half, adding more sugar until desired consistency is reached. Frost scones while warm.
Makes 8 scones.
I also made strawberry cake for an after dinner treat. I also have enough for some strawberry shortcake too. Now watch, they will be allergic to strawberries. That would be my luck.
