Peach Scones with Brown Butter Glaze… how good does that sound???
I’m not going to lie… these lasted about half an hour. And then I kept the leftover brown butter glaze in a bowl on the counter where we dipped into it with spoons over the next day or so and my husband, spoon in mouth, was like “what is this stuff???”. Brown butter my friend. Brown butter. There is nothing better. Nothing.
The point of that story is that this recipe makes more glaze than you’ll need. And now you know how to handle that.
These are super easy to throw together and are so good fresh out of the oven, slathered in large amounts of the brown butter glaze.
