These scones are the perfect on the go breakfast or can be thoroughly enjoyed with a cup of coffee, perfect for dunking!

A few tips to make sure your scones turn out flaky but melt in your mouth all at the same time.

· Make sure you sift your ingredients; this will provide you with a perfectly even pastry.

· Be sure your coconut oil and yogurt are cold. You do not want an evenly formed dough, weird right?! Small pea size balls are what you are looking for.

· If your strawberries are wet, pat them dry with a towel as they can add too much moisture to your dough. We highly advise against frozen strawberries! Big no no.

· Your scones should be just a slight golden brown on the edges while still having a doughy white hue. Be sure to refrigerate, best when reheated! Enjoy!
