Ingredients

½ cup - Granulated White Sugar
2 ½ cups - All Purpose Flour
1 tbsp - baking powder
½ tsp - Salt
4 tablespoons - Cold Butter
1 cup - Heavy Cream
1 cup - Strawberries
1 cup - Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons - Heavy Cream
1 tsp - Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Grate or cut the cold butter into the flour mixture.
Using a pastry fork, combine until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Pour the heavy cream into the flour mixture.
Use your hands to combine the ingredients until a dough starts to form.
Work the strawberries in until evenly distributed into the dough. If the dough seems too sticky, add more flour ¼ cup at a time until no longer sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a thick disc.
Pat or roll the dough to a thickness of about an inch.
Cut into 8 triangles (as if cutting a pie) or use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out scones, and place them onto a lined baking sheet two inches apart.
Bake the scones for 12-15 minutes or until just slightly golden brown on the bottoms and baked through the middle.
Remove the baked scones to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla.
Spoon over the cooled scones and serve.
