Strawberry Basil Sourdough Scones

Scone Sunday, Week Three. These strawberry basil scones are delicious! The fresh strawberries and basil give them sweet and bright flavors. I used buttermilk in these, and I love the soft texture it gave them. As usual, I put the dough together in the evening and let them sit in the fridge overnight. This lets the butter chill and solidify so they get that nice, flakey scone texture. It also lets the flavor develop and allows the sourdough discard to ferment the scones slightly, which makes them more easily digestible.

Of course, you can bake them right away. My family really enjoyed these, and I'm sure you will too. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
