12 scones
ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (8 oz.)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1⁄3 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup diced peach
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a bowl, sift the flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and baking powder together.
- Work the butter into the dry ingredients, using your fingertips or a fork or pastry blender.
- In another bowl, mix the eggs, yogurt, and almond extract.
- Stir this into the dry ingredients; add the peaches and stir just until mixed; this is a very sticky dough.
- Liberally flour the counter and your hands; put the dough on the counter and pat it into a 6 x 9 inch rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Cut the rectangle into 6 pieces and cut each small rectangle in half, forming two triangles.
- Place the scones on a well-greased cookie sheet.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until nicely browned and a cake tester comes out clean.

These scones were awful! The nutmeg flavor was WAY too overpowering and did not compliment the flavor of the peaches. These scones were too dry and had a flour-y taste. I served these to my family (who will eat anything I give them) and they all took one bite, and said that they didn't like them. I will not make these again.
