  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and quartered

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar for sprinkling

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt tiny pinch

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar; mix well to combine.
  • Cut the butter into small cubes then work it into the mixture (using your fingers, two forks, or a pastry cutter) until it resembles a coarse meal.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the egg, milk, and cream. Add to flour/butter mixture and use a fork to stir everything together until just moistened.
  • Add strawberries and using a rubber spatula gently fold them into the dough. Don’t worry if some of the berries break up a bit.
  • Empty the loose dough out onto a clean, floured work surface, then shape the dough into an 8-inch circle. You may need to knead the mixture a few times to get it to a workable texture.
  • Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully transfer them to the prepared sheet, placing them 2 inches apart.
  • Lightly brush each scone with the egg wash, then sprinkle the tops with sugar.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, or until light golden brown.
  • Allow scones to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet. In the meantime, you can make your glaze.

Glazing

  • In a small bowl whisk together the heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and salt. Drizzle over semi-warm scones and serve at once.
