Fresh Strawberry Scones

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 8 tablespoons butter

  1 stick cold butter, diced small
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
• 1 cup fresh strawberries

  diced small
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon butter

  melted
• water to achieve consistency

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line 2 rimmed baking sheet with parchment
  paper.
• 2 Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into
  the dry ingredients with a fork, fingers, or two knives. (Or use a food
  processor with the metal blade to speed things up. Just a couple of pulses will
  do.)
• 3 Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk or
  heavy cream. Stir until just incorporated; carefully fold in the strawberries.
  The dough will be very sticky and moist.
• 4 Using a large scoop or spoon, place 12 dollops of scone dough on both of the
  prepared baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• 5 Bake for 16-18 minutes, with the rack in the center of the oven, or until the
  top begins to turn golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool while making the
  glaze.
• 6 For the glaze: combine the lemon juice, confectioners’ sugar, and melted butter
  in a small bowl. Whisk until the lumps disappear. Add water as necessary to
  achieve desired consistency. Once the scones have cooled, drizzle each scone
  with the glaze.
