Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice 1 cup of the strawberries and transfer to a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and mix well. Set aside.
- Halve or quarter the remaining strawberries and transfer to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper; mix well. Let stand until juicy, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup of the heavy cream with the sour cream until just smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working over the bowl, grate the butter on the large holes of a box grater. Gently toss the butter with the dry ingredients, then stir in the sliced strawberries. Pour in the cream mixture and stir together until evenly moistened.
- Scrape the mixture onto a work surface and fold a few times until the dough comes together, then pat into a 2-inch-thick rectangle. Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 6 equal scones. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle each scone with sugar. Bake until puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, in another large bowl, whip the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream with a whisk or electric mixer until stiff. Split the scones horizontally and fill with the whipped cream and juicy strawberries.
Tips:

- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make the scones even more flavorful, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter.
- You can also make the scones ahead of time and freeze them for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 1 hour.
