  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Stir together strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar; set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, cut butter into flour, 1/3 cup sugar, the baking powder, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl, using pastry blender or 2 forks until mixture looks like coarse meal. Stir in 1 cup milk.
  3. Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead 5 to 7 times or until dough forms. Pat dough 1/2-inch thick; cut out 12 circles with 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Stir together egg yolk and 1 tablespoon milk. Brush over circles; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
