Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt.2 cups all purpose flour, ⅓ cup white sugar, 1 tsp. baking powder, ½ tsp. baking soda, ¼ tsp. salt
- Add cubed cold butter and blend into flour mixture using a fork or pastry cutter until the dough resembles course crumbs.6 tbsp. unsalted butter
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup buttermilk, vanilla and egg. Slowly add wet mixture to the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Gently mix in chopped strawberries. * Depending on the juiciness of the strawberries you may need to add up to ¼ cup more flour if the dough is too wet. You should be able to handle it nicely with your fingers.½ cup buttermilk, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 egg, 1 cup chopped strawberries
- Pour dough onto a floured surface and shape into an 8 inch circle, being careful not to handle the dough too much. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
- After dough is chilled, cut dough into 8 triangles and place on a parchment lined baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Brush each scone with milk. Bake at 400 degrees for 13-15 minutes until edges and top are golden brown.1 tbsp. milk
- Cool scones on a wire rack completely before glazing.
Strawberry Glaze
- While the scones are baking, combine chopped strawberries and white sugar in a small bowl. Smash the strawberries with a fork and allow to sit for 15 minutes.½ cup chopped strawberries, 1 tbsp. white sugar
- Drain the berries through a fine mesh sieve, reserving the juice for the glaze. You will end up with around a tablespoon of juice.
