Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup diced fresh peaches
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla extract; pour into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in diced peaches.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently to form a ball, then pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into triangles.
Freeze shaped scones for 15–20 minutes before baking for optimal texture.
Bake for 18–23 minutes or until golden brown.
While cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together confectioners' sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Drizzle glaze over cooled scones before serving.
