2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
2 cups mixed diced rhubarb and strawberries
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 cup buttermilk
Raw sugar for sprinkling, optional

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl in stand mixer, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter pieces. Add the rhubarb and strawberries. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolk and buttermilk, then add to the flour-fruit mixture. Stir until combined. Drop about 1/3 cup of the dough onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pat them down slightly until they are a uniform thickness (about 1/2 - 3/4 inch). If using, sprinkle tops with raw sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes (a little less if you opt for smaller scones) or until the scones are golden and the edges beginning to brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
