Ingredients

For the scones:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour more for dusting
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsps heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries cut into small pieces

For the glaze:

  • 2 tbsps heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add butter and work it into the mixture with two forks or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add egg, milk, and heavy cream into the mixture and mix until just moistened. Fold in strawberries with a spatula.
  • Turn dough over onto a floured surface and shape into a round 8 inch ball. Cut the dough into 8 triangles, and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, prepare glaze by whisking together heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones and serve when the glaze is set.
