Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. Chop butter into cubes and blend into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently fold in chopped peaches, being careful not to overmix.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg, then combine with the flour mixture until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a circle 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
  7. Transfer the scone wedges to the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Allow baked scones to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before drizzling with icing.
