Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut cold butter into cubes and prepare rhubarb and strawberries.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, rhubarb, and strawberries.
  4. Pour in milk and mix until dough comes together. Avoid overmixing; aim for a shaggy texture.
  5. Pat dough into a 10-inch circle and cut into 8 wedges. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Brush with egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes, then glaze with a mixture of icing sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
