Fruit Filled Scones image

This is my own recipe. How I fill them is a secret, but I'm sure you can use your imagination to figure out your own way! Because I sell these I'm not giving the secret out. I'm posting this here for the nutritional info.

1/2 cup butter, chilled and cubed
3/4 cup half-and-half
300 g frozen strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:
