Peach Nutmeg Scones




Source of Recipe


(billk)


List of Ingredients




2 cups unbleached all-purpose 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

Recipe



Preheat the oven to 375 degrees 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.

Makes 10 scones
