  1. Combine strawberries, 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) sugar and brown sugar in medium bowl. Toss to mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours before serving.
  2. Preheat oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Lightly grease or line baking sheet with parchment paper.

  4. Beat egg in a small bowl. Add milk and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into well in centre of flour mixture; toss with fork until well combined (do not overwork). Drop batter into 6 equal mounds on prepared baking sheet.
