  • 3 cup Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Stick Cold butter grated

  • 1 Egg beaten

Icing

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

Scones

  • Preheat oven to 450 ℉
  • Place the chopped peaches in a sieve or colander, set over a bowl, and let the juice drain.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Mix with a fork.
  • Add butter and blend with a pastry blender, or fingers, until butter is evenly dispersed.
  • Pat the peaches with a paper towel.
  • Add peaches and milk and stir until evenly moistened.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead until it comes together into a dry dough.
  • Cut the dough in half and pat each piece into a disk. Lightly roll into 6-inch circles, place on an ungreased baking sheet, and brush tops with beaten egg. Score each circle into 6 wedges
  • Bake 20 minutes, until tops are brown. Cool

Icing

  • Mix the reserved peach juice with powdered sugar. Add milk, a little at a time, until the glaze is thin enough to drizzle.
  • When the scones are cool, drizzle with the glaze. Let it set, then enjoy.
