Scones conjure up images of an idyllic afternoon sipping tea and savoring tiny morsels of food with dainty china and lace tablecloth. No afternoon tea will be complete without scones. These lightly sweetened treats are best eaten warm with butter, clotted cream, and jam. Flavored scones can stand on their own with just a little butter, if desired. They are usually flaky and tender but some are more cake-like in texture.

Scones with Cake-like Texture

Today’s Strawberry Sour Cream Scones are more cake-like in texture but still quite delicious. They are soft and buttery with a slight tang from the sour cream. I came across this recipe in one of my cookbooks, Tea-Time at the Inn by Gail Greco. This is an interesting scone recipe that is egg free and uses sour cream. I was eager to give it a try but decided to use strawberries instead of blueberries as they are in season right now. It was one of those buy one-get-one-free kind of deal that I could not pass up.

Delicious scones served with butter and tea.

The recipe below was adapted from Tea-Time at the Inn cookbook by Gail Greco.

    These sound so good, I wish strawberries stayed in season longer, I will have to make these sooner rather than later. Love the Beatrix Potter plate, my daughter had that bedding when she was little.

      Hi Gina, thanks for visiting! I feel excited going to the grocery stores these days with so many varieties of fruits and veges to choose from. Strawberries are wonderful. I need to get some more for making jam. They are so, so good.

      Oh yes…I love my Beatrix Potter plates. They are just adorable! 🙂

          I simply substituted the all-purpose flour with 2 cups of Bob’s Red Mill gluten free biscuit and baking mix.

          For my own gluten free mix, I would use 1 1/4 cup brown rice flour, 1/2 cup tapioca flour, 1/4 corn starch, and 1 tsp guar gum in place of the all-purpose flour, followed by the rest of the ingredients.

      I would love to go pick strawberries. I am not sure if there is a farm around here for that purpose. I love scones too as they are so yummy and not too sweet. That way I can enjoy it without feeling too guilty.

    This looks super delicious. I wish I can make…no.. “eat” that… Can I ask you a very basic question? I’ve seen that tool in 1st picture of step-by-step before. What’s that for? Kind of unique shape. Sorry… I should research myself, but since you have a picture I thought this is my opportunity to ask (such a basic) question. =P See, I’m not ready for baking yet! So much to learn!

    Biren, what a gorgeous post. Beautiful photos, too. I love that your scones contain strawberries but also that there are no eggs. It’s a great recipe to have up your sleeve when you’ve run out of them and need to make something heavenly and fast!

      You are so right Jill about them being so easy to make. If you are not particular about the shape, drop scones will be even faster and easier. There are so many people with all kinds of food sensitivites these days, it is good to have alternative recipes to cater to those needs.

    I was wondering… how long would these last?? :S
    Should I refrigerate them? Or keep them at room temperature?
    Would they last a day or two? A week?

      They should be fine for a day or two at room temperature. I usually freeze any left over scones. When needed, leave them out on the counter to thaw before warming them up. I much prefer my scones warm.

    Today I finally tried this awesome recipe and I loved it. I pretty much ate most of the scones myself I could not myself. Thanks

    These were GREAT! I had to add more milk and sour cream to get the dough to be sticky all over, but they turned out amazing. I ate four in one day!

      I am glad it all turned out well. Sometimes flour can be drier in different climates and areas. Wow…four scones in one day? Maybe you made them teenie tiny. 😉

      You are welcome! Scones are a real treat. I don’t make them often because it is so easy to over eat. They are so delicious fresh out of the oven. 🙂
