Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cold butter
1-1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided
1 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries, chopped
GLAZE:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon 2% milk

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1-1/4 cups cream just until moistened. Fold in strawberries. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times.
Pat into a 9-in. x 7-in. rectangle. Cut in half horizontally. Cut each half into four rectangles; separate and place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with remaining cream.
Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. For glaze, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, butter and milk; drizzle over warm scones. Serve warm. Yield: 8 scones.
