Easy Strawberry and Chamomile Scones
An easier take on Dylan's Strawberry and Chamomile Scones from Great British Bake Off ™ Series 15. Four components collapse into one easy dough plus a five-minute topping: chamomile is crushed straight into the dry mix instead of infused into chilled cream, and a quick toss of fresh strawberries replaces both the pickle and the roasted compote. Total time drops from one and three-quarter hours to about fifty minutes.
