Sugar Plum Scones by PeachPearPlum

Delicious peaches and cream scones with a sprinkle of chopped pecans.

When you have dreams and aspirations of owning your own tearoom you just can’t help but dive into so many scone recipes. There were so many to choose from so why not start with the first word in my business name; Peach.

I have baked many scones in the past few months and I have come to the conclusion that most scone recipes seem a bit dry and not as flavorful as I would like. After searching and modifying so many times I concocted the perfect mixture. So get ready for your mouth to water and your taste buds to tingle; this is one delicious scone recipe.

Scones

2 and 1/4 cups flour (sifted)

2 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup diced/mashed peaches

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

6. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

7. Gently fold in the diced peaches (pat with a dry paper towel first).

8. Pat the dough out into a rectangular shape (like a flat log) that is about 1 inch thick. Cut into 6 – 8 equal wedges (use a pizza cutter)
