Tips
To make pink icing glaze, microwave 2 tbsp frozen strawberries in Prep Bowl on high for 30 sec; mash berries. In 4-Cup Prep Bowl, whisk 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar with 1⁄2 tbsp each milk and mashed strawberries. Transfer to piping bag or plastic bag with one corner snipped. Pipe onto cooled scones.
Don’t like strawberries? Frozen raspberries, cherries, or cranberries will work, too! This might affect the moisture content, so adjust with milk as necessary.
