Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries (diced)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the mixture just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to crush the fruit.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Optional: Brush the tops of the scones with additional heavy cream for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
