- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb and strawberries.
- In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined (do not overmix).
- Divide the dough evenly among the muffin cups (filling each about 3/4 full).

Notes
Use frozen fruit if fresh isn’t available — no need to thaw, just toss in flour first.Avoid overmixing the dough for tender scones.Add lemon or orange zest for a citrusy flavor boost.Top with a simple glaze for extra sweetness if desired.Store in the fridge or freeze individually for later use.
