Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overwork it.

Step 6

Fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the dough, evenly distributing them throughout.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a disk about 1-inch thick. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Brush the tops with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 11

Serve warm with clotted cream, butter, or additional fresh strawberries, if desired.
