Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp orange zest for the dough
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream, cold for the dough
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for the dough
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream for brushing
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for the glaze
  • 2.5 tbsp fresh orange juice for the glaze
  • 0.5 tsp orange zest for the glaze
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for the glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and the dough orange zest in a large bowl.
  • Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter until pea-size crumbs form.
  • Fold in the diced strawberries gently to keep them from smashing.
  • Stir in cold heavy cream and vanilla just until a shaggy dough forms; do not overmix.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a round about 1 inch thick.
  • Slice into 8 wedges, transfer to the prepared sheet, and space them apart.
  • Brush tops with the extra cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake until golden at the edges, 16–19 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, orange juice, glaze zest, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
  • Drizzle glaze over warm scones and let set a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Variation: Swap half the orange zest with lemon zest or add 1/3 cup mini white chocolate chips. Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze up to 2 months. Rewarm at 300°F for 6–8 minutes.
