- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter 75 gm
- 2 cups flour 240 gm
- 1/3 cup sugar 65 gm
- 2 tsp baking powder 10 gm
- 1/2 tsp baking soda 3 gm
- 1/4 tsp salt 1.5 gm
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1.5 gm
- 1 cup peeled and diced peaches 240 gm
- 2/3 cup low-fat buttermilk 160 ml
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 3 ml
TOPPING

INSTRUCTIONS
-
Cook butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams, turns clear, and then turns a deep brown, about 6 minutes.
-
Pour browned butter into a glass measuring cup and chill in the freezer until solid and chilled, about 1 1/2 hours (Alternatively, brown butter up to a day ahead and let solidify in the refrigerator).
-
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
-
Dice chilled brown butter into 1/2-inch pieces; sprinkle over flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to cut in evenly until mixture resembles coarse meal.
-
Place peaches between layers of paper towels and press gently to remove moisture; add to flour mixture, folding in gently.
-
Whisk together buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract in a small bowl; add to flour mixture and fold in just until moist.
-
Use a floured bench scraper to scrape dough out onto prepared baking sheet; generously flour hands and pat dough into an 8-inch circle.
-
Score into 12 wedges with floured bench scraper; sprinkle dough with turbinado sugar.
-
Bake 20 minutes or until golden.
-
Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet, then carefully transfer to wire rack to cool before slicing into wedges.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 1 day and warm before serving
