    These strawberry scones aren't your typical scones because the deliciousness is rolled up in the center. These make a perfect breakfast or afternoon treat!

    You'll get lots of ooohs and ahhs when you place these on the table! Think scones crossed with strawberry French toast! Incredible!

    When strawberries are in season, my family wants to eat them with every meal. We slice them for topping pancakes, eat them in salads, drink strawberry smoothies, and of course make all kinds of strawberry desserts.

    When strawberries are in season, my family wants to eat them with every meal. We slice them for topping pancakes, eat them in salads, drink strawberry smoothies, and of course make all kinds of strawberry desserts.

    My daughter originally found this recipe in the cookbook, Home Made by Yvette van Boven and Oof Verschuren. After tasting the strawberries in the marinade, she added honey to cut the tartness of the lime. They turned out absolutely delicious!

    What You Need for Strawberry Roll-Up Scones

    The most important ingredient for this recipe is, of course, strawberries. You'll also need fresh lime juice and zest, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cold butter, and buttermilk. For the topping, you'll need powdered sugar, whipped cream, and honey to taste. 

    How to Make Strawberry Scones

    Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with ¼ cup of sugar, the zest of one lime, and the lime juice.

    Drizzle honey over the mixture. Set aside to marinate.

    Preheat the oven to 400 F.

    Use the extra butter to grease an 8-inch round baking pan.

    Sift together the baking powder, salt, flour, and remaining sugar into a bowl.

    Add the remaining lime zest and butter, quickly kneading the mixture into a course crumb.

    Pour the buttermilk in splashes as you continue to knead, continuing until you end up with a soft dough.
    (Don’t knead too much or too little at this stage- if your dough ends up too course, crumby, or hard, add a splash of buttermilk and continue to knead until it is malleable again.)

    On a flour-dusted surface, pat your dough into a square sheet that is ¼ inch thick.

    Sprinkle with half of the marinated strawberries, making sure to spread them so that you have a single layer of berries.

    Leave a 1-inch strip empty at one edge of the sheet.

    Starting at the opposite edge, roll up the dough.

    When strawberries are in season, my family wants to eat them with every meal. We slice them for topping pancakes, eat them in salads, drink strawberry smoothies, and of course make all kinds of strawberry desserts.

    Slice the roll into six pieces and place them upright in the greased baking pan.

    Bake for 30 minutes or until browned. Let cool for five minutes.

    Garnish with the remaining strawberries and powdered sugar.
