Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C) and get your baking sheet ready with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the butter into the flour mix using a pastry blender or your fingers until it resembles wet sand.
In a smaller bowl, whisk the milk and egg yolk together.
Add this liquid mix to the flour mixture, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped strawberries gently.
Lightly flour your work surface, turn the dough out, and knead it just a bit. Form a 5x5-inch circle, about 1 inch thick. Pro Tip: If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour.
Cut the dough into 4 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely, which should take about 20 minutes.
For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth, then drizzle it over the scones.

Notes
Use Cold Ingredients: For flaky white chocolate scones, it's crucial to use cold ingredients. Your butter, egg, and milk should all be cold. This is similar to making pastry where the fat needs to be cold to prevent it from melting into the flour.
Avoid Overworking the Dough: To ensure good scones, mix the dough as little as possible once you add the liquids (egg, milk, etc.). Overworking the dough can result in chewy scones rather than light and flaky ones.
Doubling the Recipe: If you want more scones, simply double the ingredients. The baking time will remain the same.
