Cherry Almond Scones
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.
