Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Cut cold butter into small cubes and mix with dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries until evenly distributed.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, shape into a disc about 1 inch thick, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Cut the chilled dough into 8 wedges and arrange on the baking sheet with space between them.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on top.
  10. Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth to make the glaze.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over cooled scones and allow to set before serving.
