Peach Scones
These peach scones are flaky, buttery, and infused with the sweet essence of ripe peaches. Whether you enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea, they’ll surely warm your heart.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour this into the flour mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches. Be careful not to overwork the dough!
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a disc about 1-inch thick.
- Cut the dough into wedges or use a round cutter for shaped scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them that golden shine.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and cooked through.
- Let them cool slightly before serving warm. Drizzle with a little extra cream if you’re feeling fancy!
These peach scones are all about bringing a little sunshine to your day. So, grab those ingredients, whip them up, and share them with your loved ones. Enjoy every bite!
