Ingredients
For the Scones
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
For the Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the wet ingredients: Whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients just until combined, then gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Shape the scones: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, form it into an 8-inch circle about 1 inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake and glaze: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool slightly, then whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the warm or cooled scones.
Notes
Keep the butter very cold for the flakiest texture. Pat the strawberries dry before folding them into the dough to prevent excess moisture. These scones are best enjoyed the day they’re baked but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
