Peachy Vanilla Bean Scones
Serves: 24
 
Ingredients
  • 2¼ cups cake flour
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1½ cups diced frozen peach slices
  • ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon cold heavy whipping cream, divided
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add peaches, tossing until combined. Add ¾ cup cold cream, sour cream, and vanilla bean paste, stirring with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  3. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently 4 to 5 times. Using a rolling pin, roll out dough to a ¾-inch thickness. Using a ¾-inch round cutter, cut 24 scones from dough, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place scones 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of scones with remaining 1 tablespoon cold cream.
  4. Bake until scones are golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean, approximately 20 minutes. Serve warm.
