How to cook deliciously - Strawberry and Basil Scones

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in 1 cup buttermilk, and stir just until combined. Fold in strawberries and basil.
