Strawberry Glazed Scones
Perfect for breakfast, tea time, or on the go, these strawberry glazed scones are light and flaky, and full of rich, strawberry flavor!
We love strawberries here on our homestead. The memories of my kids when they were younger, picking strawberries from the field, sticking every other one into their mouth as fast as they could is still one of my favorites. In my mind's eye, I can still see the red juice dribbling down their chins and onto their shirts.
We tried for several years to grow our own strawberries, but the birds got to them every single time. I think out of 400 plants, over the course of 4 years, we got a total of ONE fresh strawberry. That was the one that the boy ate before I even could say, "Let me get a photo first."
Most of our strawberries have to come from the grocery store now. The local UPick farm has closed down, and the nearest one is now over 100 miles away. Sure, it'd be a great day trip, but time doesn't always allow for that. So, I make do what what I can.

Strawberry glazed scones are a family favorite in the early Summer, but you can make them all year long.
What are scones?
A proper British scone looks more like a round biscuit than a triangle. They are cut in half, and eaten with butter or clotted cream. British scones can be sweet, or savory, and usually do not contain the same amount of sugar or butter that an American version does. The reason is simply because they slather theirs with butter and jam while eating.
The version that is most popular in the United States is the triangle shaped ones, like you see here. We tend to like our sweet and buttery flavors, thus making them different from the British version. American scones can be both sweet and savory, but many are on the sweeter side.

I've only ever had English scones before, so this should be an interesting new recipe for me. It doesn't look like a lot of sugar is added, so they might not be as sweet as I was expecting when you mentioned American ones containing more sugar. I've shared this post in the Homesteaders - Living Naturally, newsletter.
