Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fresh Peach Scones.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to a cozy 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
Step 2
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 3
In a spacious bowl, mix together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, ground cardamom, baking soda, and a hint of nutmeg to create a fragrant dry blend.
Step 4
Grate one-third of the frozen butter using the large holes of a box grater, then gently toss the mixture with your fingertips until the butter is well-coated in flour.
Step 5
Repeat this grating process with the remaining butter until fully incorporated, ensuring a flaky texture.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract, then pour this creamy blend over the flour-butter mixture.
Step 7
Using a fork, mix until you see large clumps of dough forming, then delicately fold in the diced peaches, being careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a rectangle approximately 9 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Step 9
Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top and gently press it in for a delightful crunch.
Step 10
Cut the dough into 8 triangles with a bench knife or sharp knife, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 11
Bake in your preheated oven for about 18 minutes, or until the scones turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 12
Once baked, let the scones cool on a wire rack, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma that promises a delicious treat awaits.
Step 13
Enjoy the warm, buttery goodness with a cup of tea or coffee!.
