Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold and diced)
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup peach jam
- 2 teaspoons optional: coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, diced butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until the mixture just comes together into a shaggy dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to help it come together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 evenly sized squares or triangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Make a small indentation in the center of each scone with your thumb or the back of a spoon. Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of peach jam.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and fully baked through.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with extra peach jam or butter, if desired. Enjoy!
