Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
241 g Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- (2C or 8 1/2 oz)
1/2 teaspoon salt
67 g granulated sugar -- (1/3C or 2 3/8 oz)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg -- *Note, to taste, to 3/4tsp
1 tablespoon baking powder
85 g cold butter -- cut into pieces, 3/8C (6 Tbsp) (3 oz)
2 large eggs
74 g vanilla yogurt -- *Note (1/3C or 2 5/8 oz)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
142 g diced peach -- *Note, peeled or not (1C or 5 oz)
coarse white sparkling sugar -- optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
These tender, golden scones, warm from the oven, are wonderful with
peach preserves (of course). Or simply enjoy them in all their simple
glory - with a glass of iced tea, if the weather's hot.
*Note: Don't like nutmeg? Substitute ground cinnamon, or simply leave
out the spice altogether.
*Note: Use full or low fat yogurt, not nonfat or sour cream.
*Note: Use fresh, canned, or thawed frozen peaches.
PREP: 15 mins. to 20 mins.
BAKE: 20 mins. to 25 mins.
TOTAL: 35 mins. to 45 mins.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it
with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and
baking powder.
Work in the butter, using your fingers, a fork, or a pastry blender.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt or sour cream,
and the extracts.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Add the peaches, stirring just until everything is combined. This is
a wet, sticky dough.
Drop the dough by the 1/4-cupful onto the prepared pan; a muffin
scoop works well here.
Sprinkle the scones with coarse sugar, if desired.
Bake the scones for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're light golden
brown. Remove them from the oven, and let them cool on the pan for a
few minutes before transferring to a rack to continue cooling.
Serve warm, or at room temperature. Store at room temperature,
well-wrapped, for several days; freeze for longer storage.
TIPS:
One good-sized peach will yield about 1 cup diced fruit.
Review: I made this recipe exactly as written. I used Kerrygold
butter and southern Illinois peaches which in my opinion are the best
peaches. These were amazing! The peach flavor was definitely there
and the nutmeg and almond extract complimented the peach perfectly.
This is going in my family recipe box.
Review: I love scones ANY scones! I love cinnamon, nutmeg, and
vanilla paired with peaches. So I increased all three for this
recipe. For all the reviewers who weren't pleased with the lack of
sweetness, you have to remember that traditional English scones were
not full of sugar (or flavor). Sugar was a high-priced commodity, so
was used sparingly and mostly by the wealthy. (Remember extra sugar
adds extra lbs.)
Review: I made several changes after reading the reviews about these
being tasteless, and my final product was delicious. I doubled the
sugar, used 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I also used a full
tsp of almond extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla (I love vanilla and add it
to EVERYTHING I bake). I used more peaches than called for by quite a
bit, but I didn't measure (just used what I had). Now here's the
thing with these changes the flavor is incredible, but the dough was
actually too wet and the baked scones did not have quite the right
crumb. I will try it again sometime increasing the dry ingredients
just a smidge till I get the right finished consistency. With the
changes, these are definitely worth making again.
Review: I have to say thank you for sharing this recipe. I have tried
others, and this is by far the easiest and better to make.. Texture
and flavor were perfect. My only changes were adding vanilla yogurt,
because is all I had, vanilla extract too. The leftovers were even
better, after warming up in the oven. Made then again, but now
blueberries. I can't wait to try another flavor. No more store box
mixes for me. Thank you.
