Mango Scones
Mango Scones
I hid a ripe mango from my son.
Yes, sometimes I have to be sneaky,
you see if he saw the mango, he would have eaten it.
I know him well.
He’s not as tall as me so I get to hide things easily on him, I’m sure that will change in a few short years.
I hid the mango so I could make these scones, I’m so glad I did. So is he.
He likes to eat the mango just like this, I really preferred it in the scones.

The fresh mango does make these sticky, but a little extra flour really helped to roll these out nicely.
Use ice cold butter for scones, it allows the scones to bake up extra fluffy!
I’m not going to say just how many of these I ate while I waited for the rest to cool so they could be iced.
If you have extra icing you can make these
These are the prettiest scones, Diane! Yes, I have to hide mangoes from my youngest son, too. Thanks for linking to my mango cutting post.
These are gorgeous!
Beautiful! I love how pretty the icing is on top of the scone.
Icing on scones… how luxurious! These look so summery and delicious!
I love visiting your delicious blog xo
Thanks Katherine 🙂
I love the way you frost your scones, it makes them so much more delectable! I love mango but never thought of putting it in scones, thanks!
You’re amazing, Diane! I like to eat mangoes just the way you pictured, but I know I would really enjoy them as scones! My son and grandson adore mangoes too!
