Strawberry Basil Scones With Lemon Balsamic Glaze

• FOR THE SCONES:
• 13 ounces, weight Pastry Flour
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1/2 ounces, weight Baking Powder
• 1-1/2 ounce, weight Sugar
• 6 ounces, weight Butter, Cubed Cold
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 Egg Yolks
• 8 ounces, fluid Heavy Cream + Extra For Brushing
• 5 ounces, weight Fresh Strawberries, Roughly Chopped
• 2 ounces, weight Fresh Basil, Finely Shredded
• FOR THE GLAZE:
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 Lemon, Juiced
• 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar (or More As Necessary)

1. For the scones:
2. Sift the dry ingredients (flour through sugar) into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add butter and mix on medium-low speed until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs and 8 ounces of cream then add it into the butter/flour mixture. Mix just until the liquid is incorporated and the dough pulls together. Add strawberries and basil and mix briefly.
4. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, put the dough onto the parchment and pat the dough into a rectangular shape that's about 1 inch thick. Cover with plastic and chill until firm, at least one hour.
5. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Cut the dough into the desired shape (this recipe makes about 20 scones) and place on a fresh piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Brush the tops of the scones with extra heavy cream.
6. Bake at 400u0b0F for 15 minutes or until golden brown and scones bounce back quickly when pressed. Remove scones from oven and cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack until completely cooled. (Make sure to enjoy one fresh out of the oven!)
7. For the glaze:
8. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Add enough balsamic vinegar until the glaze is of a consistency to drizzle but not run. Drizzle onto the scones and allow to set completely before serving.
