How to Make Strawberry Scones:

Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, 3 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1/2 cup diced butter and cut it into flour using pastry blender until mixture resembles pea-sized coarse crumbs. Gently toss in chopped strawberries. Make an indentation in the center and set the bowl aside.
In a second small mixing bowl, beat 1 egg with a fork then stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream. Add the egg mixture to flour mixture and use a large spoon to gently stir just until moistened. Do not over-mix.
Place dough onto generously floured sheet of parchment paper. Pull dough together and shape it into a 3/4-inch-thick circle. Cut into 12 equal wedges and pull them apart slightly (at least 1/2" apart).
Brush wedges with 1 Tbsp milk, sprinkle with coarse sugar. Slide the parchment paper with scones onto a baking sheet and bake at 400˚F for 15-16 min, or until puffed and golden.

How to Make Scone Glaze Recipe:

Stir together 2/3 cup powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp milk. Easily thicken glaze by adding more powdered sugar and thin it out with more milk. Drizzle glaze over scones and serve scones warm or at room temperature.
