Peach Scones

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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. 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.
  4. In another bowl, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour this into the flour mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the diced peaches. Be careful not to overwork the dough!
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a disc about 1-inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into wedges or use a round cutter for shaped scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them that golden shine.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and cooked through.
  10. 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!
