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