Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cherries
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Gently fold in the cherries and almonds.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and almond extract.
  6. Pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  7. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
  8. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into wedges.

  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a sweeter scone, add more sugar to the dough.
  • These scones are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to substitute dried cherries if fresh ones are not available.
