Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Lightly toss chopped strawberries with 1 tbsp flour, then fold into the dry mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow scones to cool on a wire rack.
To make the glaze, mix powdered sugar with mashed strawberries until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones.

Notes

Use cold butter for a flakier texture.
Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
For extra sweetness, sprinkle scones with sugar before baking.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
