Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Add cold butter cubes and use your fingertips to rub until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in cream and stir gently with a fork until a shaggy dough forms—do not overwork.

  4. Step 4

    Turn dough onto a floured surface and press into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange scones on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown on top, about 13–15 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Serve warm scones with strawberry jam and whipped cream on the side.
