STEP 1:

Drain the Del Monte® peaches and reserve the juice for another time.

STEP 2:

Place half the peaches on some kitchen paper and pat to get any excess liquid off them. Cut the slices into small cubes.

STEP 3:

To make the scones, preheat the oven to 200C and line a baking tray.

STEP 4:

Sieve the flour, salt and baking powder together into a mixing bowl, add the cubed butter and rub together until the mixture becomes a breadcrumb like consistency. Add the cubed peaches and mix together with your hands so that they are coated in the flour and butter mix.

STEP 5:

Mix in the milk to make a dough. Mix until just combined.

STEP 6:

Roll out the dough onto a floured surface to about an inch thick and using a circular cutter (5-6cm), cut about 10 scones.

STEP 7:

Brush with a little milk and place in the baking tray. Bake for about 12-14 minutes until risen and slightly golden.

STEP 8:

Serve warm or at room temp with a dollop of clotted cream and a couple of the reserved peach slices on top to decorate.
