Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) cold buttermilk
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh rhubarb, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh strawberries, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5ml) heavy cream

Instructions:

  1. Combine the diced strawberries and rhubarb in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let them sit for 5 minutes to macerate, then drain any excess liquid.
  2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
  3. Stir in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract until just combined. Gently fold in the strawberry-rhubarb mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overwork the dough.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
  5. Place the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and heavy cream to create a glaze, then drizzle over the cooled scones.
