Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. 3
   Stir in caster sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. 4
   Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold gently with a knife until a soft dough forms.
5. 5
   Lightly fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overwork the dough.
6. 6
   Turn dough out onto a floured surface and gently flatten to about 2cm thickness. Cut into 8 rounds using a 6cm cutter.
7. 7
   Place scones on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and risen.
8. 8
   Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with clotted cream and strawberry jam.
