    Peach Almond Scones are a delightful fusion of sweet, juicy peaches, and crunchy almonds wrapped up in a buttery scone.

    Do you ever find yourself craving something sweet yet comforting? Whether it's first thing in the morning or tea time, try making these simple yet delicious peach almond scones!

    This recipe takes the classic scone to the next level by combining the delicious flavors of fresh peaches and almonds in a tender flaky scone.

    In just one hour you can have a freshly baked batch of scones with a moist, crumbly texture and a sweet, nutty flavor.

    Ingredients for Peach Scones

    All you need to make these decadent treats are a few basic baking ingredients, plus fresh peaches and slivered almonds:

    flour (or a gluten free baking substitute like this)

    granulated sugar (or sugar free substitute suitable for baking - not liquid) and powdered sugar

    chilled butter (or butter flavored coconut oil)

    cream (or a dairy free cream substitute like coconut cream)

    egg or egg substitute

    almond extract (or vanilla or rum would also be tasty)

    baking powder and salt

    Tips for Making Scones

    First and foremost, the butter must be cold to start. I even put them in the freezer for a few minutes to rechill the butter before baking.

    The dough needs to be moist but firm, like biscuit dough. You may need to adjust the flour and cream.

    If it seems like it isn't going to be moist enough add a tablespoon at a time of cream. If it seems too soft, add more flour. Be sure to let it rest in the freezer afterwards to rechill the butter and let the gluten relax.
