Here's a recipe for fresh peach scones you might also enjoy!
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/2 cups sliced almonds, slightly toasted, divided
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
- Cut in the butter, using a pastry blender...or grate with a coarse grater and combine with fingertips.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of toasted almonds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and the almond extract.
- Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Add the peaches and stir just until well-combined. (This is a somewhat wet and sticky dough, perfect for drop scones.)
- Drop by large spoonfuls (ice-cream scoop) onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of sliced almonds.
- Bake until golden...15 to 18 minutes.
- While still warm, drizzle with glaze.
This is just one more way to enjoy our local peaches!
