Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, and sugar together in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the pieces of butter are the size of peas. Stir in the chopped strawberries.

Whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl and add to the flour/butter mixture. Stir together until the dough just starts to come together. Turn the contents of the bowl onto a clean counter and knead the mixture until the dough just begins to come together. Do not over-mix!

Flatten the dough into 3 rounds, each about 3 inches in diameter. Cut each round into quarters and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Let the scones cool on their baking sheet while you make the glaze. Whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla extract. Spread the icing over the top of each cooled scone. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Frozen Strawberry Secret 🍓
If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough to prevent color bleeding and maintain scone structure.
Butter Technique Mastery 🧈
Cut cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to create pea-sized butter pieces for the flakiest, most tender scones.
Cream Consistency Hack 🥄
Measure heavy cream precisely and keep it ice-cold to ensure the perfect dough texture and prevent overworking the mixture.
Shaping Pro Tip 🔪
Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut scone dough into clean, even triangles for uniform baking and professional presentation.
Icing Perfection Technique 🧁
Allow scones to cool completely before drizzling the vanilla glaze to prevent absorption and maintain a crisp, beautiful finish.
