Instructions
- For the Scones, preheat oven to 425°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place flour, 6 tablespoons of the butter, granulated sugar, Finishing Sugar, baking powder and salt in food processor. Process until mixture is well blended, about 30 seconds. Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about pea-sized pieces). Transfer mixture to large bowl. Stir in strawberries.
- Whisk milk and egg in small bowl. Add to flour mixture, mixing gently just until blended. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough out onto floured surface. Shape into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut dough into circles using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, re-shaping dough scraps as needed to make 24 scones. Arrange on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until tops are light golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes. To Glaze, remove scones from oven and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with Finishing Sugar. Return to oven. Bake 5 minutes longer. Transfer scones to wire rack; cool 10 minutes.
- For the Clotted Cream, beat heavy cream in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Stir in sour cream and Finishing Sugar. Beat 15 to 30 seconds longer or until thick and creamy.
- Cut cooled Scones in half crosswise. Spread with Clotted Cream and sprinkle with additional Finishing Sugar to serve, if desired.
