Ingredients

Dry

  • 1 1/2 Cups Flour
  • 2 tsp. Baking Powder

Wet

  • 7-8 oz. Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/3 Cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Almond Extract
  • 2/3 Cup Dried Cherries
  • Raw Sugar for sprinkling or Almond Icing for drizzling

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk dry ingredients together, and then stir in the cherries.
  • Add in the whipping cream & almond extract, stirring until as well combined as possible.
  • Dump mixture onto parchment paper and continue mixing by hand just until the dough holds together well, don’t over mix as that will make them tough. (Cream consistency varies-you might need to add more cream to get the dough to hold together properly).
  • Shape into an approx. 8” circle, 3/4 to 1” thick.
  • Cut circle into 8 pcs. using a pizza cutter, and pull slices apart slightly with a frosting spatula.
  • Sprinkle tops with raw sugar or leave plain and drizzle with icing after baking.
  • Bake at 375⁰ for 18-20 minutes.
  • Cool slightly and serve.

Notes

A Danish Dough Whisk works best for mixing.
Other Combinations: Dried Cranberries & Orange, Dried Blueberries & Vanilla, Chopped Apples & Cinnamon Chips. No limit to combinations.
