Ingredients
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold butter
  • ⅔ cup buttermilk
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup chopped strawberries
  • ½ cup chopped peaches
For Brushing
  • Beaten egg
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray and set aside for now.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the cubed cold butter into the bowl and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until flour butter mixture appears crumbly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vanilla extract, and a large beaten egg. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Fold in the chopped strawberries and peaches.
  5. Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead several times before rolling the dough out into one inch thickness. It might be difficult to handle the dough since it’s going to be wet but just do the best that you can. Add a couple tablespoons of flour to the dough if needed.
  6. Place the dough onto the baking sheet. Brush the top of the scones with a beaten egg. This step will help brown the tops of the scones.
  7. Cut the dough into triangles, about 8, or use a cookie cutter to form circles. Separate them individually to allow the edges to turn crispy.
  8. Bake the scones for 18-22 minutes until the tops have turned a golden brown.
  9. Serve the scones warm with jam.
