Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This step helps the scones bake evenly. It also prevents sticking and keeps the bottoms from burning.

In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine everything evenly. This ensures the scones rise properly and taste balanced in every bite.

Add cold butter cubes into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork. Mix until it looks like crumbs. Small butter pieces create flaky layers in the scones.

In another bowl, whisk the cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. This mixture will bring the dough together and add richness.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently using a spoon. Do not overmix. The dough should look soft and slightly sticky, not too smooth.

Fold in the chopped strawberries carefully. Be gentle to avoid crushing them. This keeps their shape and gives juicy bites inside the scones.

Place the dough on a floured surface. Shape it into a round disk. Make it about one inch thick. Cut into 8 equal triangles like a pizza.

Place the scones on the tray with space between them. Bake for 18–20 minutes. They should turn golden on top and smell amazing when ready.
