Ingredients

16 servings

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar, or as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in 1 cup buttermilk, and stir just until combined. Fold in strawberries and basil.
  • Dust a work surface lightly with flour and divide dough in 1/2. Shape each portion into a 3/4-inch-thick circle; cut each into 8 wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Brush tops of scones with 2 tablespoons buttermilk and lightly sprinkle with brown sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
