How to make?
Ingredients
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups finely diced peaches, from about 3 medium peaches
1 cup powdered sugar
About 8 tablespoons water
Directions
Arrange oven rack to middle and lower positions and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Dice butter then place in a bowl and put in the freezer for 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter to bowl and using a pastry cutter or finger tips, cut butter into flour until it's the size of peas . In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Turn dough out onto a well floured work surface. Pat down into a long, flat rectangle, about 12-by 5-inches. Sprinkle peaches on top of dough, then fold dough in on itself. Continue to fold until peaches are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Pat dough down into a 12- by 5-inch rectangle. Cut dough in half lengthwise, and then in quarters vertically, creating 2 1/2- by 3-inch rectangles. Cut each of those rectangles in half diagonally, creating small triangles. Place triangular scones on baking sheet and bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool. In a small bowl, combine confectioner's sugar and water and whisk until smooth. Drizzle each scone with glaze.
