Step by Step Instructions for making Cake Mix Scones:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the cake mix and the flour. Stir to combine. Then cut the butter into small pieces and to the mixture. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly and any pieces of butter are pea sized or smaller.
Step 2: Stir the strawberries and chocolate chips into the flour mixture. Add 1/2 cup milk mixed with one egg white.
Step 3: Stir gently until all the flour mixture has been incorporated.
Sprinkle a bit of flour onto your work space and turn the scone dough onto the flour. Sprinkle a bit more over the top of the dough and gently shape the dough into a ball.
Step 4: Place the dough onto your prepared baking sheet and press the dough into an 8 inch round. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into wedges and gently separate them.
Bake at 375 degrees for 22-25 minutes or until the edges begin to slightly brown.
Step 5: Cool on a wire rack.
Step 6: Once the scones have cooled, whisk together the remaining milk, powdered sugar and vanilla to make a glaze. Using a fork or a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the scones.
