In a mixer set with a dough paddle attachment, add 4 cups of flour, sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed until the butter is cut in an is the size of peas. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and hand beat together. Slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy! Combine the dried strawberries and the remaining flour and mix on low speed until blended.
Dump the dough onto a well –floured surface and knead it into a ball. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough to ¾ in thick and into a round cake pan size. Cut into pie shaped slices to resemble British scones. Place on a baking sheet cover with parchment paper. Continue process until all the dough is formed into scones.

The scones will be firm to the touch. Allow scones to cool and serve with Devonshire Cream for a tradition British scone.
