1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
•
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 pinch ground nutmeg
•

Directions
1
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
2
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, baking soda, and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
3
Grate in 1/3 of the butter using the large holes of a box grater. Toss lightly with your fingertips until coated with flour. Repeat twice more with remaining butter.
4
Whisk cream, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl with a fork. Pour over the flour-butter mixture.
5
Mix with a fork just until large clumps of dough form. Gently fold in peach.
6
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Bring together and gently pat into a 9-inch-long rectangle about 1 inch thick. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top; press gently to adhere.
7
Cut into 8 triangles with a bench knife or sharp knife. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
8
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 18 minutes. Place baking sheet on a wire rack and let cool.
