It's rhubarb season again! My favorite time of year!

These Glazed Rhubarb and Strawberry Scones are the perfect spring or summer treat! Easy ingredients, super tasty and ready in less than 45 minutes, including prep time.

Strawberries and rhubarb go hand in hand. The sweetness from the strawberries and tartness from the rhubarb compliment each other so well.

I love these with my morning cup of coffee, but they're really great any time of day when you need a snack.

I currently have three rhubarb plants growing in my backyard and every year I have enough to make a few recipes, and then some more to freeze for later.

My rhubarb plants were gifted to me as a housewarming gift from my aunt when I bought my house over 7 years ago. If you don't have plants already, you can buy seeds on amazon here!

If rhubarb doesn't grow well in your area, check the produce or freezer section of your local grocery store to see if it's available to purchase in your area.

Glazed Rhubarb and Strawberry Scones

Yield: 8 scones
Author: Hot Eats and Cool Reads
Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 40 Min

Ingredients

  • For the Scones:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cold butter, cubed

  • For the Glaze:
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. For the Scones:
  2. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and butter until the butter is the size of peas-- about 10-12 pulses.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl and add in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Fold in the rhubarb and strawberries gently.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and flatten down to ½” then cut the dough into 8 triangles.
  5. Place the scones onto a parchment lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  6. While the scones chill, preheat your oven to 400F.
  7. Once the scones have chilled, brush the tops with an egg wash or milk, if desired, and bake until golden brown-- about 20-25 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and completely cool on a wire rack.
  9. Save leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  10. For the Glaze:
  11. Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  12. Drizzle over the scones once they are cooled.

Notes:

If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb frozen, then thaw completely before using. Drain any excess liquid before using.


If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter instead.
