Strawberry Basil Scones

July 20, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

SoFab Disclosure

Mathlete is a scone lover. Every time we go to the coffee shop or pick up pastries for breakfast, he always chooses scones. I had never really thought about making my own scones until I was chatting with a blog friend of mine about ways to use her awesome basil simple syrup. I decided right then that I was going to try my hand at making strawberry basil scones with a basil glaze. 

Strawberry basil scones are the perfect combination of summer flavors!

Of course, I didn’t want to come up with just a plain strawberry basil scone. I wanted it have to some nutrition to it to and so I decided to use Lifeway Kefir Cultured Milk Smoothies in my recipe and make my scones #KefirCreations. Kefir is a lot like yogurt but the cultured milk smoothies are gluten free and 99% lactose free. I love the great dose of calcium they add to recipes.

So, the hardest part of this recipe for me was forming the circle with the dough. Mine came out in sort of a weird shape so my pieces weren’t the perfect triangles you get from the bakery.

That is ok though because Mathlete loved the scones when I served them for breakfast this weekend! I thought the combination of the basil and strawberry was just perfect. The Lifeway Kefir Cultured Milk Strawberry Smoothie was the perfect addition to the recipe because it added just the right amount of creaminess and extra strawberry flavor.
