I woke up needing the comfort only provided by morning carbs and a pre-noon nap. Carbs can be a standard morning happening, but Thursday morning naps are probably considered illegal.
I think summer vacation is trying to take root in my brain. I want to sleep in, wear jean shorts, smell like sunscreen, get grass stains on my clothes, put lemon in my hair, and eat peaches in excess.
Oooh summer… I can’t indulge the nap, but I will indulge in the jean shorts, carbs, and peaches.
These breakfast treats are basically Peach and Scone Sandwiches! Whatever ‘I still have work to do because I’m totally not a kid on summer vacation’ problems we might have… these are the solution.
It would seem as though I’ll use any excuse to make a batch of tender and flaky scones.
I fluctuate between calling them biscuits and scones. It all depends on my mood, and the number of tablespoons of sugar.
Cold butter and vegetable shortening are the fats.
Let’s get flaky!
An egg is a great dough binder, and buttermilk adds the perfect amount of tang.
Wrinkles are cool. No biggie.
I rolled this biscuit dough a little thinner than usual, to just under 1/2-inch in thickness.
I did this because I’m making double decker dream scones!
Extra cinnamon sugar and buttermilk. Let’s call them glue.
Biscuit dough is folded over, and pressed into a haphazard rectangle.
If the word ‘haphazard’ makes you nervous… be cool, it’s just baking.
The dough is a bit soft (and slippery peachy).
I needed a spatula to transfer them from the cutting board to the pan.
The scones are chilled in the fridge just before baking, coated with buttermilk, cinnamon, and sugar… and baked until beautiful golden brown.
They’re sweet and perfectly summery. I was feeling indulgent, so enjoyed these scones warm, with a touch of spreadable butter, creamy coffee, and direct sunlight.
Peach Cobbler Scones
makes 8 scones
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
1/4 cup vegetable shortening, cold and cut into cubes (if you don’t have shortening you can certainly substitute unsalted butter)
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 ripe peach, sliced thin
1/4 cup buttermilk, for burshing
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening and butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Use your hands to break the fat cutes into the dry ingredients. Some of the fat bits will be the size of peas and some fat bits will be the size of oat flakes. In another bowl, combine egg, milk, and vanilla, and beat lightly with a fork. Add the liquid to flour mixture all at once, stirring enough to make a soft dough.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead about 15 times. If the butter has warmed too much in the making of the dough, shape the batter into a dish, wrap in plastic wrap, and let rest in the fridge for 15 minutes. If the butter is still cool, shape the dough into a disk and, on a well floured surface, roll dough to a little less than 1/2-inch thickness. My dough was about 12-inches long and 10-inches tall. The dough will be rolled just thinner than a biscuit dough that you would cut biscuits from.
Brush half of the rolled out dough with buttermilk. Arrange peach slices, in a single layer, across the buttermilk moistened dough. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Carefully fold the empty side of dough over the peach sliced layer. Press gently together. Add a bit of flour to your hands and press the edges of the dough in, creating more of a rectangle shape than a half circle shape. Using a floured knife, slice dough into eight even pieces.
Place dough on prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 1/2-inches of room around each scone for spread while baking. If dough has warmed, and feels mushy, place in the fridge for 20 minutes to rechill. Remove from the fridge. Brush each scone top with buttermilk, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.
Bake scones for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Scones are best served warm, on the day they’re made, with soft butter.

We just made these with the last of our summer peaches. So good!!
annepercoco
Just made this recipe and it came out PERFECTLY. Thank you Joy!!
Christina Bible
Hi there, and thanks for sharing. My mornings start pretty early here on our ranch with cattle, dogs, cats, my husband and ranch hands. I love cooking and baking up New recipes and your scone recipe is a” Go To” for me. What a hit it has been, I tried a little cream cheese I had on hand that I didn’t want to go to waste, sweetened with the cinnamon/sugar. Wow! I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to share.
john schmidt
suggestion. Split the dough in 2. Prepare the 1 with the buttermilk, sugar/cinammon mixture, and peaches. Then the other piece can be still in the fridge and easier to roll out and put on top of the other piece. My dough was too soft, so it was difficult getting it to fold. But practice makes perfect.
Also added some blueberries to it.
Katie
These look so good! Think I could make the dough a day before baking and chill overnight?
joythebaker
Certainly!
Calista
Father’s Day 2015: made these for breakfast. Absolutely perfection! Thank you for sharing
Cat
These were really good– the flavour of the scones themselves was excellent. Am thinking of making them with other fruit. I didn’t put them in fridge before baking and they turned out fine. I was careful not to add too much buttermilk before laying out the peaches, therefore not too slippery.
Sara
Update: I made a batch with white whole wheat and added raspberries (super good) … and I made another batch to which I added two teaspoons of matcha with the flour, about a tablespoon of fresh grated ginger with the peaches, and replaced the cinnamon with ground ginger. They are BEAUTIFUL and sooooo good. Next time I might added a couple extra tablespoons of buttermilk to the matcha version to make the dough a touch more pliable. Thanks for the awesome recipe and concept!!
Sara
I finally made these – they are SO good. I’m about to make them with peach AND raspberry … and THEN I am going to try making ginger peach WITH matcha in the dough. I’m out of control. (I also plan to freeze a lot – I’m not that out of control.)
Catherine
I made a batch of these last night… and as soon as they’d cooled enough, I ate one, and immediately made a second batch. They are AMAZING. Every recipe from you is a definite keeper!! Once my husband returns from his business trip I’m making a batch with apples for him :)
Mary
Looks yummy!
Sarah
Lol nice bite mark on the peach cobbler scones. I should make this one for the next “family meal” at work. It’s quick, easy, and looks so tasty. Thanks for sharing! i had featured u in the post of Top 7 Quick and Healthy Sandwich Recipes on AllFreshRecipes, looking forward to ur newly posts!
Sivan
Looks amazing. Will try very soon. Thx!
Adriana
Can I make this with canned peaches?
joythebaker
I think it may be too mushy and maybe too sweet.
Billie
Let me say first I’m a beginning baker. For some reason, I am suspicious about shortening. Something doesn’t seem right about it. My lack of baking knowledge is certainly why I’m suspicious. I read the recipe and I thought, I don’t want to use shortening, I’ll just use more butter as you suggested. Then I thought, give it a shot. .you’re learning. .don’t be dismissive. As I was making these this morning, I realized, shortening is the sh&t. The texture and flavor (I bought the butter flavored) was amazing. Thank you for this recipe! I’m trying the maple blueberry scones next.

Wow. I was trying to cut back on carbs….but you’re right – sometimes you just need a hit in the morning. I’m going to make these immediately. And then maybe take a nap in your honor.
Kate Chadd
I made these last night, warmed ’em up this morning and made friends with my neighbors by bringing them over. YUM! (and now everyone thinks I am incredible) THANKS MUCH and I can’t wait to try some more recipes out on them.
Danielle
Wow! I just made these as a midnight snack for the fifteen teenage girls I take care of–many of whom are picky eaters. I got about sixteen or seventeen out of the dough, and I only have 2 left after five minutes–they loved it (and so did I). I will be making these for breakfast one morning! Thanks!

Looking for a recipe(peach blueberry pie
jordan
I made these this morning…had to substitute vanilla extract for almond extract and forgot to sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the peaches before I folded the dough over. NEEDLESS TO SAY they were delicious!! Not too sweet, and very moist with a bit of a crunch. I drizzled a bit of half&half on top too :) Thanks!
kelly
Made these this morning and they are a huge hit! Thank you so much.
Ali
Hi Victoria,
I used buttermilk that’s 0.25 milk fat, so assuming mine was also low fat, and I didn’t have that problem (made them for the second time today). My dough was a little bit gluey this time, but then went to a normal consistency being knead on the floured board.
Was your butter and shortening warm by the time you were adding the wet ingredients? Maybe those had essentially melted in? I took my butter out of the freezer (which did mean a little more elbow grease with my pastry cutter, but I forgot about it beforehand) and the shortening had been in the fridge for a while. Otherwise I’m not sure!
Kerri
I made these this morning and wanted to tell you thank you for the recipe. They turned out great, if a little wonky looking, as I initially cut them the wrong way. (What can I say, I’m not a morning person. I’ve also never made scones before.) I found your blog as a result of my sister, who received your cookbook from me for her birthday. I believe you’ve got a new reader in me. Thanks again!
Victoria D.
Hey all!
I had a rough experience last night attempting to make these scones.
Everything was going well and my recipe matched all the pictures until I added the ‘wet’ ingredients (buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract mixture)
My ‘dough’ did not look so much like dough. It was more the consistency of runny cookie dough or thick cake batter. It was very sticky and couldn’t be kneaded in the least bit. I added more and more flour to make it more like the pictured dough. I cant even say how much more flour I had to add in order to get the desired dough, but it was a lot.
The result was, predictably dry and crumbly scones that taste nice but also extremely too ‘flour-y’
I can’t seem to figure out what I did wrong. I double and triple checked my measurements and I know I didnt mess up there.
The only thing I did differently was add low fat buttermilk instead of regular buttermilk. Could that have been the cause for all my trouble?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Terri Lea
I LOVE this recipe! Thank you for sharing. Since reading it, I’ve made these scones several times for friends. My favorite way to make them is using sliced strawberries mixed with sliced peaches. I slice them the night before making the scones, put them in a bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of sugar coating the fruit evenly. I then let the fruit sit in the fridge overnight as the sugar pulls the juices out from the fruit. The next day the sliced fruit is extra juicy and thick with the peach and strawberry flavors mixing beautifully. I’ve also tried sprinkling the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the scones rather than on top of the fruit. It worked out nicely.
Thanks again!
Melissa
Joy these were delicious! It was my first time making scones and it has since inspired what I’m calling “the summer of scones” (though none have stacked up to this recipe yet). Here’s the problem: I live alone and would love to be able to keep these scones for breakfast throughout the week. Now these definitely kept for several days, but as we know, scones are SO much better freshly baked. Do you think I could flash freeze these and then individually wrap them and bake one up fresh in the morning? Would that work? Would love your thoughts!
aps and lou
YUM! love this, reblogged it – hope that’s okay! http://absofrockinlutely.blogspot.co.nz/2012/07/good-ideas.html

Dang, these look awesome!! Peaches, buttermilk, and scones – three of my favorite things. Win!
Rebecca in STL
Made these for Saturday breakfast last week and they were absolutely amazing with some Early Grey and a little butter. Thanks for the recipe!
AM
Thank you, these were delicious! Because of the fruit you don’t even need jam. It was a first time I made scones and it is so easy and fast. I made them yesterday for 2 friends and both asked for the recipe.
Now I am going to try making some of the other recipes you have for scones. They are so nice with afternoon tea, not overly sweet.
rmd
I’ve followed your blog for awhile and love it, but this was the first thing that I’ve made from your site. They were delicious! I used raw sugar for extra crunch on the top. We had them for dessert and went the splurge route and served them warm with homemade caramel syrup and vanilla ice cream. So so so good! Thanks for a great recipe!
Gigi
oh my word…kill me now..I love peaches!
Alfie
Ohhhhhh these look so good! On my summer to-bake list right now!
Karen
I’m enjoying one right now! I didn’t have buttermilk so I subbed plain yogurt and they are delicious! Thanks:)
Kate Minor
mmmmmm! I feel I should spend more of my life thinking about and making scones. Thank you for the inspiration! :)
stephanie
oh my! i made these tonight and they are yummy! I topped with whipped cream and added a few extra peaches and thye were great!
Sarah Hornacek
Joy, I just have to try these! Oh my, a combination of scones AND peach cobbler. I will be making these with my gluten free flour blend.
Please check out my new gluten free baking blog…
http://www.sarahbakesgfree.com
If I make these scones gluten free, I’ll be sure to post it on my blog, with recognition to the wonderful Joy the Baker! I can’t wait!
Laura
I want to leave work right now and go make these! Thanks for the recipe and the fab. photos!
Melissa Case
For the record, these were DISTURBINGLY good. I made a double batch yesterday and they got scarfed up by everyone in my house — from kids aged 4 to adults over 40. The biscuit was tender and lovely, and the addition of the cinnamony peaches was perfection. Thank you!
Susan
These were a huge hit at the bridal shower this afternoon. As were your cranberry ginger scones, the chocolate orange ones and the grapefruit honey yogurt ones. But I think I got the most compliments on these peach ones. I have a feeling you will have a few new readers after today – including the groom who talked cooking and baking with me and loves trying new things.
Sea
Made these today and they were to die for! By far the best scones I’ve had!
Accidentally dumped all the buttermilk into the dough, forgetting to save some to brush the scones with, but made no difference to the end result!
Thanks for a great recipe!
Rachel Morgan
These are in the oven right now, and boy do they smell good. instead of peaches i substituted mango’s :) so excited to try them! thank you
Susan
My daughter is hosting an afternoon “tea party” bridal shower for her best friend this weekend. (My daughter is the maid of honor.) It is kind of turning out to be a Joy the Baker shower since I am making about 4 kinds of scones from your site, including these, for the party.
Javelin Warrior
Call them scones, call them biscuits – I just want a plate of these to feast on! Another inspired creation and I’m featuring this in today’s Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution). I hope you have no objections and I always love dropping by to see what you’ve created…
Tami
Ooh, I may have to try these this weekend with the blueberries I just picked up… I need more buttermilk. Thanks for the inspiration!
C.D. Beatrice Clay
Almost fell out my chair when i saw these. now, i make a pretty great scone, but i’ve never seen anything like this. YUMMERS! Bump the heat wave hitting NYC this weekend, I amd turning my oven on and I am going to BAKE! :D
Kiwi
Oh man… where was this yesterday? My peach scones turned into disappointing hockey pucks. I’m looking forward to trying this. If it’s anything as good as the biscuit cinnamon rolls… you will probably become my favorite person. (Besides my mom, who has never ruined a darn scone.)
Holly
LOVE the sandwiching idea. I’m totally trying that the next time I make scones.
Kate C
My Sunday morning consisted of several cups of coffee, these scones (made with raspberries and apricots) and a good book, outside on a sunny deck. Heaven.
Malin
These look wonderful – and I´m on my first day of my summer holiday, so I´m allowed to sleeping in and indulge in scones! (Actually, I indulge in scones all the time – but these with peaches, will be a nice summery breakfast treat!)
Jasmine
Hi, may I know 3/4 cup butter is how many grams? Thank you (:
Lulu
hi,, 1 stick of butter is 110 grams which is equal to half cup…
so 3/4 cup butter is 165 grams, which is 1 1/2 sticks..you can use 150 grams which i always do
Tracy
Swoon! I love summertime peaches and sunny days – these look fabulous! Thanks Joy!!
Rebecca
You win, again! Made these for breakfast this rainy morning- super quick and delicious. I love that they aren’t too sweet- thanks!

totally made these last night, and i kind of regret being impatient and not refrigerating my dough at the points where you called out that it would be a good idea, but now i have an excuse to make them again. even though mine were ugly and misshapen, they were delicious!!
Kristin
Made these last night and they were amazing! I did need 2 peaches because mine were kind of small. I actually used a nectarine for one.
Another winner Joy!!! Your scones are always my favorites.

* I meant the past weekend!
Kirsty Pope
These were just delightful! Been looking at the recipe for the past week or so and just couldn’t wait aby longer to cook. Traditional, not too sweet scones melded with ripe sweet peaches!
Hope my team at work enjoy them as much as I did (it’s cooks privilege to eat the broken unloved one, no?!)
The Culinistas
Combining one of my two favorite things, cobbler and scones! Thanks for the great recipe!
The Culinistas
Oops that should say “Combining two of my favorite things…”
MonicaP
Made these on a Sunday afternoon and they were quite good! Not overly sweet which, in fact confused me. I thought “these scones aren’t very sweet” . . but alas .. my taste buds have been ruined by overly sweet coffee house pastries.
Now, I probably won’t make these again as I don’t have much use for buttermilk, although did make buttermilk blueberry pancakes Sunday morning. Perhaps you can write 101 ways to use a 1 quart container of butter milk :-)
jessicaA
Made these Saturday morning and they were o-m-gosh-perfect! Seriously loved every bite and will make again. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
Mary Margaret
Oh my gosh.

I made these yesterday morning, but used black raspberries that I picked from my garden. They are divine!!! Flaky, crunchy outside, soft inside…perfection. We ate them warm, with coffee, sitting in direct sunlight. This will definitely be a keeper recipe.
chefroommate
These look super – scone sandwich action is genius! With peaches – even smarter! Thanks for the carb loading tips and the inspiration to push through the desire to nap through weekday mornings.

I just made these and they were delicious!! So easy to make and the peaches were nice and soft.. Just one thing – my scones didn’t turn out so brown on the top.. How did yours get so nice and brown n the top?

I would like to eat 10 of these…right now.

Everything in this post sounded amazing. And the scones looked amazing, pretty sure they tasted it too.

Mmmmm peach scones. Looks like art with a tad of science tossed in.
Ellen
Looking forward to trying, thanks for the recipe. They look great!

These are just delightfully cute! I love the idea of baking the peaches right in the scones. I hope peaches make it to me soon. Maybe I’ll have to substitute strawberries or cherries while I wait!
Veronica
I just made this recipe and they were fantastic :) I substituted the flour for a GF flower blend so my consistency was a little different than your pictures, but they still tasted great!

If you think Thursday naps should be illegal, those scones definitely look like they should be. They look so delicious!

Ohhhh Yeaaaah… in a deep Ferris Buelers Day off song voice. I know you know what I am talking about. This is what came to me(out loud) when I read the post. I would call it a biscone. Yup, that is what this is, a super delightful biscone. I love it!

This looks so so so GOOD!
Mary @ Bake Break
Brilliant! I could go for a nap, and sugary carbs right now. Ugh. TGIF!

This helps alleviate one of my least favorite things about scones, that they can sometimes be a bit too dry. Add some delicious, sweet, and moist peach to the center and voila! No more dry. This is genius!

Holy Guacamole! These are on my must bake list. They look so good.

Ooh! Peaches are my favorite. I really like how you already stuffed it with peaches, then baked it, so it kind of bakes around it a bit.
Also love that it’s like a hand pie.

you have totally earned them!
Meghan @ After the Ivy League
These look so flaky and peachy and delicious. I get into that frame of mind still too….why don’t I have the summer off? You mean I still have to go to the office every weekday even though it’s 90 degrees and sunny and the beach is calling to me? Being a grown-up is no fun sometimes.

Oh one question… can I make this dough in advance? And by advance I mean, make it Saturday night, and cook them Sunday morning?
Rachael B
Joy… You just saved me. Did you know that? I have a wedding shower on Sunday that I am the exclusive baker for. I think these will most definitely be making it to the table. It’s at 11am and it seemed too early to be making really indulgent sweets (not my judgment… but whatever). Scones away!!!
Sue
OMG – my mouth is literally watering looking at the photos of these gems. I cannot wait to make them! Joy – you are a constant inspiration. Here’s to it being the weekend – throw on your jean shorts, slather on some sunscreen, and live it up! Much love!

Joy! These look delicious. I will dream of them while I await the Michigan peaches. Additionally, I am with you All The Way when it comes to living my responsible adult life whilst wishing I could be a kid on summer vacation. Ah well: there’s lot of goodness in the adult life, too, like baking scones whenever a lady likes.

Chewthefat
For some reason, I am having a problem reading all of the comments on your blog, except for the very last few, even when I click the numbered comments link. Regardless, the idea is fantastic–everyone loves scones and jam, and this is like baking the jam into the scone!
Kshitija
What a lovely idea to use lovely summer pink peaches! Will substituting the shortening with butter make too much difference to the taste/texture? Or can the shortening be substituted with margarine?

You had me at Cinnamon Sugar!

I was kind of dying when I saw this on Instagram… love that layer of peaches!!
Sara {Home is Where the Cookies Are}
These look so perfect! I have been on a biscuit kick lately, and have yet to figure out just the right proportions to make them stand up crazy-tall. . . and peaches – my fave thing for summer fruit. I can smell them every time I get anywhere near the produce isle. These look awesome!!
Gauri
These look so amazing, crunchy and mouthwatering. I think am going to try these over the weekend :)) Thanks for sharing.
Charlotte
oh, these look amazing! they’re made it from 343044 to 1 on my “to bake” list in an instant. Looks so much like sun and summer. This is why look forward to the weekend: jean shorts and sunscreen smell, bring it on! :)
Angel
Oh, they look so delicious! Loved meeting you in Austin! I was the silly one with the broken wooden spoon.
Lemon – that’s better than Sun-in, what I used to use. Enjoy the sun!
Anya
Those scones looks amazing! I read your story and saw your photos above and that makes me mouth-watering, really. I must try these cute babies!
Sarah@SarahCupcake
Oh damn, these look amazing!! I want to eat these while wearing jean shorts and basking in sunlight with a coffee as well :)
Jessica Ann [peonyfish]
This has given me so many ideas of other layered scone treats. I also feel that this breakfast might benefit from a scoop of vanilla ice cream. No bigs.
Ellie
Oh my these look delicious. I’ve never thought of having a scone like this.
Summer, what summer, it’s pouring with rain here in Scotland, yukk.
Dea
Loveeee it!
Ellen
Recently peaches at the store are so deliciously fragrant I have to restrain myself from eating them right there. Knowing I need to save them could help me do that…
Kathryn
I have the same summer problems (although the awfulness of the weather is tricking me into believing that it’s not summer at all…) and I think carbs are definitely the only answer.
Sophie
I never considered making a scone loaf and then cutting it up. The edges are so beautiful and crunchy. Dying to try this!
leaf (the indolent cook)
That sweet, sweet peach filling is calling out to me… hello! And even better that they’re sandwiched in between tasty scones.

And I thought I was the lazy guy with my afternoon naps…morning naps, that’s the real thing! However, in my case they work only if I’m at the beach. I can’t do it at home I don’t know why but it’s just not the right environment..
But who knows, maybe after one of your amazing peach cobbler scones things might change? Have to give it a try…

I love peaches. They are the perfect summer fruit to bake with, too!
And slippery peachy…love that. Those little buggers ARE slippery. Same with mango and nectarines. They do the slip ‘n slide all over my cutting board.

“If the word ‘haphazard’ makes you nervous… be cool, it’s just baking.” Love it! Nearly laughed out loud at work … which unfortunately would have given away that I’m not actually working right at the moment :) These look delicious!
