I've made these before, but I"m putting it here so I can find the recipe when I need it.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup butter, chilled, cut into small pieces
5-6 tbsp milk (any kind)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 - 1/3 cup nectarine, peeled and diced

Edit Steps

1
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add butter and toss to coat. Using your finger tips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles very coarse sand. A few large bits are all right, but try not to have any pieces larger than an average pea.
3
Add 5 tablespoons of milk and the vanilla and stir. Mix in nectarines. The small amount of juice given off the the fruit should moisten the mixture as much as it needs to form a ball, but if it doesn't, add remaining tablespoon of milk.
4
Divide dough in four pieces and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar, if desired.
5
Bake for 16-19 minutes, until scones are a light golden color. A toothpick should come out clean, but color is a reliable indicator for these.
