Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) cold buttermilk
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh peaches, finely diced
- 1 tbsp (15ml) heavy cream
- 1 tbsp (8g) coarse turbinado sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized lumps remaining.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and cold buttermilk until the dough just begins to come together.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches until combined, ensuring the dough remains shaggy and not overmixed.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into an 8-inch (20cm) circle.
- Slice the circle into 8 equal wedges using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Place wedges on the baking sheet, brush the tops with heavy cream, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until the edges are a deep mahogany-gold and the tops feel firm.
