1 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons sugar, plus 1/2 teaspoon

1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces (1/2 stick or 4 tablespoons)

1/4 cup milk

1 egg yolk

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

For the Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar , sifted

Instructions​

  • Place the chopped strawberries in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar over the top and stir gently. Set bowl aside and let sit while you make the dough.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with silpat or parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and sugar.
  • Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg yolk. Pour into flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Gently stir in the white chocolate chips and the chopped strawberries.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead very lightly and form a circle. (Add a little more flour to the dough if the dough becomes too sticky to handle).
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let cool on baking sheet for a minute, then transfer onto wire rack to continue cooling.
  • To prepare the glaze:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and the cream until smooth. Spoon over each scone.
