Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
8. Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into scones.
9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
11. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
