Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Scones
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ⅓ cup of granulated sugar.
- Add ½ cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and cut into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently mix until just combined.
- Fold in 1 heaping cup of diced fresh strawberries.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and press it into a 1-inch thick disc.
- Cut the disc into 8 wedges.
- Place the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with cream.
- (Optional: Chill the scones in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the scones for 18–22 minutes.
- Once baked, let scones cool slightly on a wire rack.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones once slightly cooled.

Notes
Consider customizing with chocolate chips or nuts for unique flavors. Make sure to keep butter cold for best texture and avoid overmixing for tenderness.
