Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Mix together flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl until well combined. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until pea-sized pieces form. Whisk together heavy cream and eggs in a medium bowl until well combined; stir into flour-butter mixture until well combined. Mix in peaches and pecans until just incorporated.

Step 3

Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a round disc about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 8 equal wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Make topping: Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl until well mixed. Brush over wedges and sprinkle with raw sugar.

Bake scones in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
