 2 cups all-purpose flour
 ¼ cup light brown sugar
 2 ¼ tsp baking powder
 ¼ tsp baking soda
 1 tsp kosher salt
 ½ cup Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 ⅔ cup heavy cream
 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
 1 large egg
 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
For the Egg Wash:
 1 egg
 ¼ tsp fine sea salt
For Sprinkling:
 Turbinado sugar
1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

3

Combine the olive oil, heavy cream, egg and extract in a small bowl, and whisk to blend.

4

Pour the liquid ingredients over the flour mixture and stir just until evenly incorporated.

5

Dump the dough onto a generously floured work surface. Gather into a ball and knead a few times, until dough just comes together. Sprinkle the strawberries on top and gently fold the dough to incorporate the berries. Shape into an 8 to 9-inch round

6

Slice into 8 wedges like you would a pizza and place on the prepared baking sheet.

7

Whisk the egg and salt in a small bowl and brush onto the scones. Sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Place in the freezer for about an hour, until frozen solid.

8

Preheat oven to 375°F.

9

Bake for about 25 minutes, rotating at the halfway point, until the scones are nicely browned and a toothpick inserted in the side of one comes out clean.

10

Once removed from the oven, let the scones cool on the sheet pan for about 5 minutes before serving with loads of salted butter.

Scones are best eaten the day they are made.
