1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berries
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined.
6. Fold in the mixed berries carefully without crushing them.
7. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a thick circle.
8. Cut the dough into wedges and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
9. Brush the tops lightly with cream if desired.
10. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes until lightly golden brown.
11. Allow the scones to cool slightly before glazing.
12. Whisk powdered sugar and milk together until smooth.
13. Drizzle glaze over the warm scones before serving.
Notes
Use very cold butter to create flaky bakery-style layers.
Frozen berries help prevent excess color bleeding in the dough.
Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the scones soft and tender.
