Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream (plus 1 tablespoon for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced fresh peeled peaches
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Add this to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; fold in the diced peaches.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface; knead gently until it forms a ball. Pat into a circle about one inch thick and cut into eight triangles.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for about 15–20 minutes.
- Brush tops with additional heavy cream before baking for 18–23 minutes until golden brown.
- While cooling, whisk together confectioners' sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle over cooled scones.
