Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter frozen, then grated
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs divided
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup strawberries chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water

For the Strawberry glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large strawberry sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add grated butter and mix together with your hands until flour mixture is crumbly, taking care not to overwork the dough.
In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, sugar, 1 large egg, lemon zest and vanilla . Stir in the diced strawberries until coated.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the strawberry mixture and using a sturdy wooden spoon stir until the dough is just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Using floured hands (the dough will be sticky) shape the dough into an 8 inch circle. Using a bench scraper or knife coated in cooking spray or oil cut the dough into 8 wedges. Separate the wedges slightly.
In a small bown bowl beat together the remaining egg with 1 tbsp of water to create an egg wash and brush the tops of the scones .
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake the scones for 20-23 minutes until puffy and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.
To make the strawberry glaze stir together powdered sugar, lemon juice and chopped strawberry. Allow the glaze to sit for 10 minutes to develop the pink color. Remove the strawberries, drizzle the glaze over the scones and serve as desired.
