Ingredients
3 1/2
cups
all purpose flour
1
Tbsp
baking powder
1/4
tsp
baking soda
1/4
tsp
salt
1/2
cup
cold unsalted butter
chopped
2/3
cup
white granulated sugar
2
cold eggs
1/2
cup
low fat buttermilk
1 1/2
cup
diced strawberries
2
key limes - Zest
1 1/2
tsp
vanilla extract
1
egg white
for brushing
Sugar for sprinkling
preferable vanilla sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease it lightly.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer.
Dice strawberries and set aside. Zest key limes and set aside.
Chop cold butter into small slices and add to dry ingredients. Mix dry ingredients and butter until it looks like coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla, sugar and buttermilk together. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture while mixing on low speed.
Add diced strawberries and key lime zest. Still on low speed, mix until just combined.
Take dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough a few times (10-15 seconds), until smooth.
Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 1/2 inches thick in the center but thinner on the outer edge. Cut the circle like a pie, into 8 pieces.
Transfer the slices of dough onto a baking sheet.
Whisk egg white and water and brush the scones with the egg-wash.
Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for about 18-22 minutes. Break one scone to make sure that it's done but still nice and soft in the middle.
