Another recipe from Kayla: Summer is pretty much over, which means a few things. First, there are a lot of peaches and secondly, school started. I decided to make the best of it and make a delicious breakfast before school using some of those delicious peaches. Scones are one of the fastest dishes to make, just combine the dry ingredients, add some butter and buttermilk, then fold in the peaches and chocolate. They bake for less than 15 minutes, so you can have your breakfast ready in under half an hour. If you would rather sleep a few extra minutes, just make the dough over the weekend or after school and bake it as you need it; the dough will probably last about four days in the refrigerator. These peach scones are a delicious way to start the day, and you’ll never want to skip breakfast again!
Ingredients:
2 Cups Flour
1/3 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
1 T Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
Pinch Ginger
1 Stick Butter, Chilled & Cubed
3/4 Cup + 2 T Buttermilk
2 Peaches, Diced (1 1/2 Cups)
2/3 Cup White Chocolate Chips
Heat oven to 375F. Line a cookie tray with parchment.
Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Toss 2T of the mixture with the peaches. Set aside. Cut the butter into the flour, then add the buttermilk. Fold in the peaches mix and white chocolate.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared tray and bake for 12 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
