I absolutely love having fruit (or some form of) for breakfast or dessert. I seriously live for summer when I can buy fresh peaches, strawberries, blueberries and other yummy varieties. This peach scone recipe is one of my absolute favorites and I can tell you that when I made them the other day? They were gone in a flash! We’ve taken to calling this the Perfect Peach Scone recipe around our house since I added this recipe to my recipe box because they really do taste perfect!
Do you think scones are a breakfast or a dessert? It’s a frequent debate in our house now. Emma says dessert, Tom says breakfast and me? I say that with this recipe it really doesn’t matter! It’s perfect for either one!
