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 (cut into cubes)
1 cup heavy cream (plus 1 tablespoon for brushing)
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup diced fresh peaches
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
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 cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In another bowl, mix heavy cream and vanilla extract, then combine with the dry ingredients until just mixed. Gently fold in diced peaches.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface, knead gently into a ball, and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into triangles.
Freeze for 15-20 minutes before baking. Brush with heavy cream and bake for 18-23 minutes until golden brown.
While cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking confectioners' sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones.
