STRAWBERRY SCONES WITH ORANGE DRIZZLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. I use baking stones so sometimes I skip the parchment, but if it's easier for you or you don't have non-stick pans, I would suggest it.
• 2. In an electric mixer with paddle attachment, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined. Blend in cold butter at LOW speed and mix until butter is in pea-sized pieces.
• 3. Combine eggs, vanilla, and heavy cream. Quickly add to flour mixture. Combine just until blended - do not over mix.
• 4. In a small bowl, toss strawberries in 1 tbsp flour. Add to dough and mix up quickly - but do not over mix. Dough may be sticky.
• 5. Turn out onto a well-floured board and flour your hands and rolling pin. Roll dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Using a 4-inch cutter, cut scones in either squares or circles. Then cut those in half.
• 6. Place cut dough on the prepared baking sheet.
• 7. In a separate bowl: Combine 1 egg and 2 tbsp water or milk to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the dough with the egg wash. (I prefer no egg wash on mine and the sugar sticks fine.)
• 8. Sprinkle with sugar on the top.
• 9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until outside edges are crisp and the color is light golden brown. Oven times may vary so keep an eye on them in the last 5 minutes or so. Cool scones 10 minutes before topping with drizzle.
• 10. Glaze/Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and OJ - enough OJ to make a thin glaze. Drizzle with a fork over partially cooled scones. Serve warm!
