- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pure lemon extract

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Sift together flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Add sugar and mix to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, heavy cream and lemon extract. Stir into the flour mixture. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in berries.
Divide dough into 3 portions. Place on a floured surface and sprinkle with more flour. Gently pat into 6-inch rounds. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Cut each round into quarters or sixths.
Make an egg wash with remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush tops of scones with egg mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
To prepare Strawberry Cream Cheese, mix cream cheese with strawberries and confectioners' sugar. Serve with scones.
