Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Whisk to blend.
  3. Add the cold diced butter to the flour mixture and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  5. Fold in the strawberries carefully, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape into an 8-inch circle, cut into 8 wedges.
  7. Place the wedges on the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle sugar on top.
  8. Bake for about 18 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  9. While scones cool, whisk together the cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt for glaze.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones once they have cooled slightly.
