Instructions
Step 1
Heat oven to 425°. Stir peaches, cream, and egg in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers, rub butter into flour mixture, forming pea-size crumbles. Stir in cream mixture until dough forms.
Step 2
Transfer dough to a heavily floured surface; pat into an 8” disk about 3⁄4” thick. Cut into 12 wedges and place on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet; bake until golden, 13–15 minutes. Serve warm with butter and peach jam, if you like.
