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)

Keep Butter Ice-Cold 🧊
Use butter straight from the freezer and work quickly to maintain small, distinct butter pockets that create the signature flaky, layered texture in your scones.
Pat Strawberries Dry 🍓
Thoroughly dry fresh or thawed frozen strawberries with paper towels before folding them in to prevent excess moisture that can make your scones dense and soggy.
Don't Overmix the Dough 🙅
Mix your dough just until ingredients come together—overworking develops gluten and results in tough, dense scones instead of tender, crumbly ones.
Brush with Cream Before Baking 🎨
Lightly brush the tops of shaped scones with heavy cream before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior and enhanced richness.
Chill Dough Before Cutting ❄️
Refrigerate your prepared dough for 15-20 minutes before cutting and baking to help scones rise higher and maintain their shape in the oven.
