Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • ¾ cup (130g) white chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup (180ml) heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp (30-45ml) milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, quickly work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  6. Carefully fold in diced fresh strawberries and white chocolate chips, being gentle to avoid crushing the berries.
  7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle, about 8 inches in diameter. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Lightly brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove the scones from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool for about 10 minutes before glazing.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust milk to get a drizzle consistency.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones using a spoon or piping bag.
  13. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Keep butter and cream cold to ensure flaky texture. Avoid overmixing dough to keep scones tender. Pat strawberries dry if very juicy to prevent soggy dough. Brush tops with cream for a golden crust. Add glaze while scones are warm for best shine. Dough can be chilled for 15 minutes if too sticky before shaping.
