I didn’t try scones for a while because they always looked kind of dry. They reminded me more of a biscuit. I was so wrong. Scones are one of my favorite breakfasts. They’re so easy to make, and so moist and delicious, plus, everyone is always way more impressed by a scone than a biscuit. When I was trying to think of a breakfast to make for my sweethearts this year I thought Strawberries & Cream Scones would be perfect!
These scones are full of strawberry flavor and have a little white chocolate mixed in, then topped with an icing made of cream. White chocolate tastes like cream to me so I thought they were the perfect way to bake that flavor into the scones. I think they are best just out of the oven but I gave one to my husband when he got home a few hours later and he said they were a hit!! They are so great and a must make for your sweethearts for Valentine’s Day breakfast.

What if I don’t have a food processor?
Aubrey says
You can just use a fork or pasty cutter to cut the butter into the flour and so on.

I have everything to make these but the yogurt… Any thoughts on what could be substituted?
Aubrey says
You could use sour cream instead.

These sound great! FYI – scones ARE biscuits. However, if your biscuits are really dry then you haven’t found the right recipe yet.
