Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (plus extra for topping scones)
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter (cut into pieces)
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup blueberries (frozen are fine, but do not thaw)
  • 1 Medium peach (peeled and chopped)

Note

These are best served when they are still warm. You can make the batter and cut or scoop them, and keep frozen until you want them. Remove them from the freezer while your oven preheats, then bake for the stated time, but check to see if more time is needed.

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 450F, 425 for convection
Step 2
Mix dry ingredients together in a food processor
Add butter and process until mixture looks like sand
Turn mixture out into a mixing bowl
Step 3
Beat eggs and cream together and add to dry ingredients
Mix with a wooden spoon just until combined, then add fruit and mix in gently
Step 4
Generously flour a counter and put mixture on counter
Fold three or four times, dough may be sticky, so keep your hands floured
I prefer to scoop my scones, but you can also pat the dough to 3/4" and cut into triangles, or use a biscuit cutter
Step 5
Put on a parchment lined pan
Sprinkle sugar on the top of each scone
Bake for 12-14 minutes
The tops should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted should come out clean
