I can make these in about 30 minutes – the boys love to help me bake, so this would be a great time to get the kids involved. Try making these with blueberries and lemon, or raspberry and lemon. You can make a drizzle to if you like. Mix together 1 1/2 cups of powder sugar, 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 3 Tbsp. milk. Drizzle away! 

These fresh, homemade strawberry scones will be a big hit – they didn’t last long in our home.
