Ingredients

For the Strawberry Balsamic Jam:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries diced
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp high-quality balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

For the Scones:

  • 2 1/2 cups organic white spelt flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/2 cup cold ghee cubed
  • 3/4 cup grass-fed whole milk or almond milk
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

For the Balsamic Glaze (optional):

  • 1/2 cup high-quality balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

  • To make the strawberry balsamic jam, combine strawberries, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and lemon zest in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Allow it to cool and thicken further.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the ghee until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gently stir in the milk and maple syrup just until the dough comes together; do not overmix.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and roll it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Spread a thin layer of the cooled strawberry balsamic jam over the dough.
  • Roll the dough lengthwise into a log, enclosing the jam. Then, using a sharp knife, slice the log into rounds.
  • Place each round flat on the baking sheet, with the spiral of jam facing up.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the scones are golden and the jam ribbons are set.
  • For the optional balsamic glaze, reduce the balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until halved, then stir in the maple syrup and let cool. Drizzle over the scones once they're baked.
  • Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
