  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Cold, cut into cubes
  • 1 Egg At room temperature
  • 0.5 cup Buttermilk At room temperature
  • 1 Egg Plus 2 tablespoons milk for egg wash
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Baking Sheet
  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in your chopped strawberries.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk and mix well.
  6. Add your buttermilk and egg mixture into the flour mixture and combine until it becomes a dough.
  7. Transfer your dough to a lightly floured surface, and form a round disc that is about 1 inch thick.
  8. Using a sharp knife, divide the disc of dough into 8 equal portions.
  9. Whisk the egg and milk together.
  10. Place the scones on your prepared baking sheet and brush them with the egg and milk mixture.
  11. Place the scones in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  12. After 20 minutes, bake the scones for 20 to 22 minutes until golden brown.
  13. While they are baking, combine the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to make the drizzle.
  14. Allow the scones to cool for about 20 minutes. Drizzle and serve.

Notes

  • Tip 1: If you like your drizzle thinner, you can add in 1 more tablespoon of cream.
  • Tip 2: If you like your scones to be a little sweeter, sprinkle your strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar before folding them into your dough.
  • Tip 3: Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days, or in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
