1. in a bowl combine all dry ingredients, add in the cold butter pieces a start working it onto the flour mixture with your hands until the butter pieces are very small. When the mixture is pressed it will hold together on its own

2. 

3. Pour in heavy cream and mix with a fork in 3 additions

4. Lined a shallow baking dish ( I’m using a 1/3 hotel pan which measures 12 3/4 inches x 6 7/8 inches )

   with a pieces of parchment paper

5. Put half of the scone mixture on the bottom of the dish and flatten it out with your hands

   

6. Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly on top of the layer of scone dough, sprinkle with sugar then top it off with the remaining of the dough and again flatten with your hands. It is okay if the dough doesn’t cover the strawberries entirely

   

7. Freeze the scone for a couple hours until it is solid enough to slice

8. Meanwhile make vanilla bean glaze: whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla bean paste. Set aside

   

9. Remove the scone from the baking dish by lifting the parchment paper, cut into 8 even pieces

10. 

    10. Brush the top with cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar, bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown

    11. Let cool completely and drizzle with vanilla bean glaze and enjoy the best summer treat you’ll eat with a cup of coffee!
