Strawberries & Cream Scones

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup strawberries (cut into 1/4 inch pieces)
• 2 cups cake flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 4 TB unsalted butter
• 1 TB orange zest
• 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into small cubes and blend with a pastry blender until it resembles oatmeal (or small peas, if you don't like oatmeal). Add the orange zest and strawberries. Then slowly and gradually add the cream while mixing with a fork.
2. 2
   As soon as the flour starts to come together into a dough, remove from the bowl and form into a ball. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead gently four or five times. Then shape with your hands (or a rolling pin) into an 8x10" rectangle. Cut the rectangle lengthwise into two 4x10" rectangles. Cut each of those into 6 or 7 triangles and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
3. 3
   Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with softened butter, jam, creme fraiche or just as they are!
