Of course, these scones aren’t just good for breakfast or brunch. These would be wonderful served in the afternoon tea party or with a glass of iced tea. You could even serve flavoured teas that would compliment the flavours inside the scones. For example, an orange tea would be fabulous. If you’re having the girls over, why not make these strawberry chocolate scones and a pitcher of iced tea to help you beat the heat?

Strawberry scones with frozen strawberries

If you’re making these strawberry white chocolate chip scones in the fall or during the winter months and don’t have fresh strawberries on hand, frozen strawberries will work. The key to working with frozen berries in desserts like scones is to thaw them and then get off as much of the liquid as you can. Fold the berries in last and you won’t have colour bleed that turns the scones pink.

Scones Flavours

Also, if you don’t like scones with strawberries, use whatever berries you prefer. Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries would all work wonderfully in this scones recipe. You could even try making more than one batch with different berries in each. You could also do a mixed berry flavour scones.
