Use ripe peaches. The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful your scones will be.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the scones rise evenly.
Bake the scones until they are golden brown. Overbaking will make the scones dry.
Serve the scones warm. Scones are best served warm out of the oven, but they can also be served at room temperature.
