Preparation:

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Cover and refrigerate. Heat oven to 375u00b0. Lightly grease a scone pan or cookie sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir to blend. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture is like coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 egg with vanilla and 1/2 cup cream or milk. Stir into the flour mixture just until combined.

On a floured surface, knead the dough a few times. Pat into the scone pan or pat into a circle and cut into biscuits or triangles.

For glaze, whisk 1 egg with 2 tablespoons of cream or milk.

6
Place dough triangles in the scone pan or place cut-outs on the baking sheet; brush scones with the glaze mixture. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned. A toothpick inserted into the center of a scone should come out clean. Cool on racks.

Meanwhile, beat the 1 cup of heavy cream until the cream begins to stiffen; beat in powdered sugar until the mixture holds peaks.
