Instructions
- Prepare the oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in diced peaches.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture and gently stir until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the scones: Transfer dough to a floured surface and shape into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges.
- Place scones on the baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes until golden.
- Make glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over cooled scones before serving.
Notes
Keep the butter cold for the flakiest texture. If using frozen peaches, do not thaw them first. Store leftover scones in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
