Peach nutmeg scones

Ingredients:

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon baking powder
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup diced peaches
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg and baking powder together.
Work the butter into the dry ingredients, using your fingertips or a fork or pastry blender.
Mix the eggs, yogurt and almond extract. Stir this into the dry ingredients.
Add the peaches and stir just until mixed. This is a very sticky dough. Liberally flour the counter and your hands.
Put the dough on the counter and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 10 triangular scones.
Place scones on a well-greased cookie sheet. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the sugar.
Bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned and a cake tester inserted into a scone comes out dry.
