Grate or cut the cold butter into the flour mixture.

5
Pour the heavy cream into the flour mixture.
6
Use your hands to combine the ingredients until a dough starts to form.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a thick disc.
9
Pat or roll the dough to a thickness of about an inch.

11
Bake the scones for 12-15 minutes or until just slightly golden brown on the bottoms and baked through the middle.
12
Remove the baked scones to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Keep Butter Ice-Cold 🧈Cut your cold butter into small cubes and keep it in the freezer until the last moment before mixing—this creates the tender, flaky layers that define premium scones.
- Don't Overwork the Dough 🙌Mix just until the dough comes together; overworking develops gluten and creates tough, dense scones instead of light, delicate ones.
- Macerate Strawberries First 🍓Toss fresh strawberries with a tablespoon of granulated sugar 15-20 minutes before baking to release their juices and concentrate flavor throughout the scones.
- Brush with Cream Before Baking 🎨Lightly brush the tops of unbaked scones with heavy cream and a sprinkle of sugar for a gorgeous golden exterior and subtle sweetness.
- Cool Before Glazing ❄️Let scones cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack before drizzling with vanilla glaze, which ensures the glaze sets beautifully without melting into the warm pastry.
