If you have been reading my blog for awhile…it’s NO secret that I love scones.
My love affair with scones carries into all the various flavours there could possibly be…the tenderness of the said little sweet biscuits draw me in like super magnet every time.
Let’s see…in the past I have shared Luscious Lemon Chip & Lemon Scones, Gingerbread Scones with White Chocolate & Cranberry, Pumpkin Scones with Cinnamon Maple Frosting, & Chocolate Scones with Candy Cane Kisses Scones.
With spring coming, I wanted to make whip up some scones with seasonal flavours….like strawberry & rhubarb.
This recipe is not hard and can be ready to go in the oven in 10-15 minutes….very little time for very big reward people!
Strawberry Rhubarb Scones
{makes 16 scones}
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cold butter
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup diced rhubarb
1/2 cup diced strawberries
1/4 cup turbinado or coarse sugar for tops. optional
{Before we get started on directions, here’s a little tip. If you don’t want the strawberries to get ‘mushed up’ in the scone dough, throw them into the freezer for about 30 minutes before adding into the dough}
Directions:
1. In bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix.
2. Cut cold butter into small pieces and add to flour mixture. Using pastry blender or two forks, blend in butter until it resembles course crumbs.
3. Stir in buttermilk until soft dough forms. Add strawberries & rhubarb.
4. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently 7 to 8 times. Divide dough in 2 and form 2 round discs the size of a small bread & butter plate.
5. Sprinkle each disc with turbinado or coarse sugar.
6. Using sharp knife, cut each disc into 8 wedges.
7. Place wedges on a large cookie sheet and bake at 425 for 12 to 14 minutes or until tops are golden and scones seem firm.
8. Cool and serve. Scones are always taste the best the day they are made.
Enjoy! I love fresh scones. They are so tender and yummy, and great to share with friends.

Ummm…YES PLEASE!! Pinned this to my "Breakfast" board so I can make it as soon as my rhubarb is big enough to cut!
This is great! I'm growing rhubarb in my garden this year (fingers crossed it actually works the way I hope!). Pinning it!
I'm not a huge fan of rhubarb, but man oh man does it ever bring back memories of childhood for me as my grandmother always grew it in her garden and baked with it regularly 🙂 Thanks for the sweet memory of my grandmother – you gave me a smile today!
Yummmmo!!!!
I would love for you to link up to my TGIF Link Party!

Great minds think alike Angie! It's so funny, I just made strawberry scones this morning. I'm working on a new vegan recipe. I thought it would be good for Mother's Day. Your scones look yummy. 🙂

My mother loves scones. Maybe I will make her some. Thanks for the recipe!
YUMMY! Love this recipe! This would be perfect to link-up to my new series – "Create It Thursday." It's live now! http://www.lambertslately.com/2013/05/create-it-thursday-1.html
Sounds great. I love scones but have never tried making them. I'll definitely have to try your recipe. Pinned it.
Perfect time of year to make these yummy scones~Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines~ now following
I love Scones as well, probably for the same reasons you do. There is something delicious and comforting about a freshly baked scone, buttered, and washed down with well -brewed hot tea. The only way to make them taste better is to share them with friends.
