Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and blend into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and heavy cream before adding to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Gently fold in quartered strawberries using a rubber spatula.
Transfer dough onto a floured surface and shape into an 8-inch circle; cut into wedges.
Brush wedges with beaten egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top.
Bake for about 18 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Allow cooling briefly before drizzling with glaze made from heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
