-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
-
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick.
-
Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool for 10 minutes before dusting them with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
