Peach Basil Scones with Honey Glaze
Yield: 8 Scones
Ingredients
Scones
-
3 c. all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoons salt
-
¾ c. granulated sugar
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
-
½ c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
-
1 large peach, diced
-
1 c. heavy cream (plus more for brushing scones)
-
2 tablespoons Pure Honey Wildflower Honey
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Honey Glaze
-
¼ c. powdered sugar
-
2 teaspoons Pure Honey Wildflower Honey
-
1 tablespoon cream
-
Preheat oven to 375° and line baking sheet with parchment paper
-
In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and basil. Add in the butter and using a pastry cutter (or two knives), mix the butter into the dry ingredients and incorporate until butter is pea sized. Using a spoon, gently stir in the diced peach.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, honey and vanilla extract. Pour into dry ingredients and using a spoon, stir dough until it just barely holds its shape. Mixture will be shaggy and crumble, but this is OK! (If it still seems way too dry, add more cream)
-
Flour a work surface and dump the scone dough out. Very gently, knead the dough together and form it into a disk. Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles and place on baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with cream and bake for 18-25 minutes until golden brown on top. Let cool and drizzle with honey glaze.

To make glaze: Whisk together glaze ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle over cooled scones. If glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar until you reach a good consistency.
