Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound nectarines (about 4), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling
