Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients and cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped fresh rhubarb into the flour mixture.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges and transfer to the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  8. While scones are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth for the glaze.
  9. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the tops of the cooled scones and serve.
