-
Add the butter to the dry mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Gently fold in the reduced-fat sour cream, diced peaches, and vanilla extract until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently 4-5 times to bring it together.
-
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or coated with non-stick spray.
-
Using a sharp knife or dough cutter, slice each circle into four wedges, but do not separate them completely. Leave them slightly connected.
-
Brush the tops of the scones with nonfat milk and sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the top.
-
Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) and bake the scones for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Tips:
- For a variation, you can substitute the fresh peaches with other fruits like berries or diced apples.
- Make sure your butter and margarine are cold when cutting them into the dry ingredients to achieve a flaky texture in the scones.
- If you donโt have reduced-fat sour cream, you can use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt as a substitute.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones. Mix until just combined for the best texture.
- Customize the sweetness of the scones by adjusting the amount of sugar according to your preference.
