I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed these scones. The peach flavor is really strong and the scones are very moist.

These scones are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more milk next time.

I had a hard time finding fresh peaches, so I used canned peaches instead. The scones still turned out great!

These scones are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover peaches. They're also a nice change from the usual blueberry or chocolate chip scones.
