List of Ingredients
2-cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2-tsp salt
1/4-cup granulated sugar
1-tsp nutmeg
1-tbsp baking powder
6-tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces
2-eggs, beaten
1/3-cup vanilla yogurt
1/2-tsp almond extract
1-cup diced peaches (about one good-sized peach)
2-tbsp melted butter
2-tbsp granulated sugar Recipe
Preheat the oven to 375*
In a large bowl, sift the flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and baking powder together. Work the butter into the dry ingredients, using your fingertips, 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 (it will be 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.
Yields: 10 scones
