Peach and Blue Berry Scones w/ Lime Icing

Farmers Market Finds Part 2!  When we were at the farmers market my husband decided that he wanted to try a scone and he picked a peach and blue berry one.  It tasted yummy so I decided that I wanted to try and make my own and this is what I came up with. Enjoy!



Peach and Blue Berry Scones w/ Lime Icing

4 c. flour
2 Tbs. sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. cream of tarter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 c. unsalted butter, cut in slices
1 large egg
1 1/2 c. half and half
2 peaches, peeled and sliced into small cubes
1 c. blue berries

2 Tbs. sugar

Lime Icing

1/2 c. powder sugar
1-2 Tbs creme' brule'e creamer
1/2 lime or lemon, squeezed
1 drop yellow or green food coloring

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray.  In a mixer combine flour , 2 Tbs. sugar, baking powder, cream or tarter, and cinnamon.  With a bread hook attachment or using two forks, combined butter and flour mixture until crumbly.  In a separate bowl separate egg yolk and egg white. Set aside the egg white.  Beat the egg yolk and then add half and half, combine.  Add this mixture to the flour mixture and combined using a fork until the dough forms a ball.  Add in the blue berries and peaches.  Using your hands combined with the dough.  On a floured surface need the dough a couple of times.  Cut the dough in half and with a floured rolling pin roll out each dough into a disk about a 1/2 inch thick.  Cut the disk each into 6 triangles and place them on the baking sheets.  With the egg yolks brush the tops of the scones and finish off, sprinkling the remaining 2 Tbs. of sugar over top.  Bake for 15-18 minutes or until tops are golden brown.  Remove from baking sheets and let cool.

In a small bowl combine powder sugar, creamer and lime juice.  You can also use lemon but I didn't have any so I used a lime. Add a drop of food coloring for a fun little color and then drizzle evenly over scones.
