Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar until combined.
Cut cold butter into small cubes and blend it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, whole milk, and heavy cream; add to the dry mixture and stir until just moistened.
Gently fold in the strawberries.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface; shape it into an 8-inch circle and cut into wedges.
Place on the prepared baking sheet; brush with beaten egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top.
Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown; cool slightly before drizzling with glaze.
