Description

These scones are best when served with Keemun or Peaches n' Crem Tea.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour or Round Table Pastry Flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt

  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 cup diced peaches (about one good-sized peach)

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375¡F. In a large bowl, sift the flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and baking powder together. Work the butter into the dry ingredients, using your fingertips or a fork or pastry blender.

Mix the eggs, yogurt, and almond extract. Stir this into the dry ingredients. Add the peaches and stir just until mixed. This is a very sticky dough.

Liberally flour the counter and your hands. Put the dough on the counter and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 10 triangular scones.

Place scones on a well-greased cookie sheet. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, or until nicely browned and a cake tester inserted into a scone comes out dry.
