Ingredients

1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoons salt
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
4 Tablespoons cold butter
1 large egg, beaten
⅓ cup milk
¾ cup chopped peaches, fresh or frozen

Icing Ingredients

2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl or food processor.
Cut cold butter into flour mixture with pastry blender or pulse in food processor until mixture resembles crumbs.
Add in the egg and milk and stir just until mixed.
Add peaches, and stir until peaches are incorporated and the dough forms a ball.
Place dough onto parchment paper lightly sprinkled with flour and press into a 8 to10 inch circle. (Don't overwork dough.) Then cut into 8 wedges using sharp knife.
Separate the wedges to give the scones room to spread and rise and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the bottoms and edges are beginning to brown and scones are cooked through.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Whisk icing ingredients together and drizzle over cooled scones.

Notes

For best results don't use over-ripe peaches. Wet peaches will make your dough sloppy too fast, so when using fresh peaches, try to use ones a little on the firmer side.

If using frozen peaches don't thaw them, instead add them while they are still frozen.

Storing: I think these scones are best served the day they are made but if you have any leftover scones you can store them on the counter in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Allow them to cool before storing and place a paper towel underneath them to help control moisture.
