These scones are a delightful combination of sweet strawberries and tangy key lime zest. They make for a perfect breakfast or afternoon treat.

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/3 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed. 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced. 2 tablespoons key lime zest. 1/2 cup milk. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the diced strawberries and key lime zest. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut it into 8 equal wedges. Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade Strawberry Key Lime Scones!
