Description
Delicious, flaky peach scones that capture the essence of summer with every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk them together.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring the butter stays cold for flakiness.
- Fold in the diced peaches, creating a colorful and fruity mixture.
- Mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
- Pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Cut the dough into wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg for that golden finish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones turn golden brown and your kitchen fills with their delightful scent.
- Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Using fresh, ripe peaches will elevate your scones. For a twist, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest.
