Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh peaches (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
- 3 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
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 flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overwork the dough.
Fold in the diced peaches carefully, ensuring an even distribution without crushing the fruit.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a 1-inch thick disc. Be careful not to handle it too much.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece. Brush the tops with a little heavy cream for a golden finish.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.
While the scones cool, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy the peach scones warm or at room temperature!
