Fat Cherry and Almond Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream and almond extract. Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the fresh cherries and sliced almonds.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
-
Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges or rounds.
-
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the scones with powdered sugar before serving.
