Ingredients

• 1 cup strawberries, chopped into small pieces
• 3 tablespoons granulated white sugar, divided (I used maple sugar- fabulous!)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons butter, in cubes, slightly softened
• ⅔ cup half and half or whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for topping)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease a cookie sheet).
• In a small bowl, sprinkle strawberries with ½ tablespoon sugar; set aside.
• Combine remaining sugar with flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with pastry cutter or 2 knives (can use your fingers too). When a good crumb mixture has formed, stir in strawberries and cream. Gently stir the dough until it comes together.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times until dry ingredients are incorporated. If dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
• Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet and pat into a circle that is about ¾-inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges. Pull wedges out from center of circle to create ½-inch space between each scone.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake 5 to 10 more minutes, or until scones are golden brown and spring back when touched. Don't over-bake, or your scones will be dry.

Notes

• You may substitute half of the flour for whole wheat flour, if you'd like.
