Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose white flour.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar.
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder.
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
  • 3/4 pound cold unsalted butter.
  • 4 extra-large eggs cold.
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream.
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries.
  • 1 egg plus 1 tablespoon water.
  • 1/2 cup sweet powdered sugar.

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • Put the flour into the mixer bowl. Add the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed to combine them. Make sure there are no large lumps.

Add Cold Butter

  • Dice the cold butter into small cubes. Add them to the dry flour mix. Mix on low until it looks like peas. You want to see small bits of butter.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  • Whisk the eggs and heavy cream together. Do this in a separate small bowl. Pour this into the flour mixture slowly. Mix until the dough just comes together.

Fold in Berries

  • Dice the fresh strawberries into small pieces. Add them to the dough very gently. Use your hands or a rubber spatula. Do not mash the berries into the dough.

Flour the Surface

  • Dump the dough onto a floured board. It will be a little bit sticky. Dust your hands with a little more flour. This makes it easier to handle the dough.

Shape the Dough

  • Knead the dough into a large square. It should be about one inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut triangles. You should get about sixteen small scones.

Prep for Baking

  • Place the triangles on the baking sheet. Space them out so they can rise. Brush the tops with the egg wash. This makes them look very shiny and gold.

Bake the Scones

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for twenty to twenty-five minutes total. The tops should be firm and brown. The inside should be fully cooked.

Glaze and Serve

  • Let the scones cool on a rack. Mix powdered sugar with a little cream. Drizzle the white glaze over the warm scones. Serve them to your very hungry guests.

Notes

  • Keep the butter and cream very cold.
  • Do not over-mix the dough at all.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
  • Flour your hands and the board well.
  • Chill the dough before baking for height.
  • Use a sharp knife for clean edges.
  • Let them cool before adding the glaze.
  • Sift the flour for a lighter texture.
  • Serve them warm with extra fruit jam.
