Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2cups plus 2tbsp all purpose flour
  • ⅓cup brown sugar
  • 1tbsp baking powder
  • ¼tsp baking soda
  • ½tsp kosher salt
  • 1stick very cold butter cut in cubes (I throw in freezer for 10 minutes before using)
  • ⅔cup half&half, heavy cream or milk
  • 1 large peach peeled and diced (dab with paper towel if your peachy is really juicy)
  • half&half (or cream or milk) and sugar for brushing and sprinkling on top
  • For Glaze (optional)
  • ½cup powdered sugar
  • 2tbsb (plus more) milk or cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven 400degreesF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few quick times. Add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form (just 5 or 6 times for me). Add liquid (half&half, cream or milk) and pulse one more time until combined (careful not to over pulse here).
  3. Dump dough onto a well floured surface. If dough seems really wet add some more flour (tbsp at a time). Dough should be slight sticky but not super wet. Put peaches on top of dough and mix in with your hands. Form dough into a disk and cut into 8 wedges. Carefully place on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with half&half, cream or milk and sprinkle sugar on top.
  4. Bake in over for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Allow to cool on sheet.
  5. While baking, make a glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk. If glaze is too thin, add more sugar. Too thick, add more milk. Drizzle glaze over warm scones and devour.
