Strawberry-Pecan Scones

Makes 8 scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (73 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (57 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180 grams) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon (6 grams) vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) tightly packed orange zest
  • 1/2 cup (85 grams) ½-inch-chopped fresh strawberries, patted dry
  • 1/2 cup (57 grams) chopped toasted Sunnyland Farms Raw Georgia Pecan Halves
  • 2 tablespoons (14 grams) chopped Sunnyland Farms Raw Georgia Pecan Halves
  • 1 large egg (50 grams), lightly beaten
  • Sparkling sugar, for sprinkling
  • Vanilla Bean Glaze (recipe follows)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, breaking up any clumps by hand if needed. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together cold cream, vanilla bean paste, and orange zest. Gradually add cream mixture to flour mixture, stirring with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently stir in strawberries and toasted pecans. (It’s OK if dough is crumbly or shaggy in parts.)
  4. Turn out dough onto a very lightly floured surface; knead gently 4 to 6 times to bring dough together. Roll or pat dough into a 7-inch circle (1-inch thickness), lightly flouring surface as needed to prevent sticking. Using a bench scraper or a thin-bladed knife, cut dough circle into 8 wedges; gently press raw pecans into tops of scones as desired. Place scones at least 2 inches apart on prepared pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  5. Brush tops of scones with egg wash, and sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
  6. Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Spoon Vanilla Bean Glaze into a small pastry bag; cut a ¼-inch opening in tip. Drizzle onto scones as desired.
