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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 6

Fold in the diced peaches carefully, ensuring an even distribution without crushing the fruit.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 11

While the scones cool, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones and let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Enjoy the peach scones warm or at room temperature!
