Ingredients

  • The Scones
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Almond Bark
  • 1/4 cup Strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • The Lemon Glaze
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Heavy Cream
  • Juice of one Lemon
  • Zest of one Lemon

Method

  • Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse 6 times to combine the ingredients.
  • Add the strawberries and pulse another 6 times. The mixture should turn pinkish.
  • Add the almond bark and butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Pour the contents of the food processor into a bowl and with a rubber spatula, fold in the heavy cream.
  • Once the liquid is absorbed and a batter has formed dump the mixture onto a work surface including all the floury bits that haven't mixed in all the way.
  • Sprinkle the dough with the cinnamon and knead a few times to form a ball.
  • Pat the ball down to a 3/4 inch thick circle and cut out scones with a biscuit cutter or dough scraper. I used a 3 inch diameter biscuit cutter.
  • Place the scones on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place the sheet on the lower middle rack of the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the tops become slightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before adding the glaze.
  • In a small sauce pan over low heat, combine the glaze ingredients.
  • Once the butter has melted and the ingredients combined to form a smooth glaze, remove from the heat.
  • After the scones have cooled, drizzle the tops with two layers of the lemon glaze. Garnish with a pinch of lemon zest, and enjoy!
